Water taxi services play an important role in exploring Abel Tasman National Park, providing convenient coastal transport
between beaches and walking sections. They allow travelers to customize their itinerary by combining boat travel with
walking and kayaking.
Operating from Kaiteriteri and nearby ports, water taxis connect key locations such as Anchorage, Bark Bay, Medlands
Beach, and Torrent Bay. These services are popular with day visitors and multi-day hikers alike.
For travelers, water taxis offer flexibility and comfort, making it easier to access remote beaches while enjoying scenic views
