  We left from Totaranui heading to Marahau. Was just under $80 for 2 adults. Picked up a few folk from other stops along the way. Our skipper was Brett and he was awesome! Pick up was on time, he pointed out little blue penguin and took us on a detour to see seals. He was super friendly to everyone who came on. It's a little boat, sits about 20, was such a great way to travel back. Think the best bit was getting towed out of the water by a tractor and getting driven down the road. Totally recommend this company. Thanks heaps guys!

  Driving with the watertaxi is great and a lot of fun. We drove to Torrent bay for 35$ and it was really worth it. They show you the split apple rock and seals on the way. The staff is really nice and the view is beautiful. They were also really nice via e-mail and answered my questions immediately. I can highly recommend them.

  Great service. Great price. Taxi left on time for Anchorage, from which point we walked back to Marahau. Bargain compared to other ways of seeing the Park. Park near the base which is a bit further on at Marahau than you'd think. Will use them again.

  This service ripped my tramping pack on the first day of transport, and my tent bag on the second. I went to talk to them on return. The old guy (seemed like the boss/manager) at the office got mad at me for suggesting the had handled the bags poorly, told me I should buy better gear, and call me arrogant for suggesting it was their fault. Then proceeded to blame how much weight I'd put in it (I reminded him that they limit weight to 20kg and check this before accepting it), and even demonstrated how it would have been picked up and THROWN from the boat in one motion. When I told him how he'd just demonstrated the pick up would have caused the tear due to it being picked up from the wrong part of the pack, he asked me how long I'd be transporting luggage for. Really rude, really disappointing service. I didn't even get so much as a verbal apology that it had happened.
  
  The boat was also half an hour late to pick us up on the last day.
  
  One positive was the boat driver was the nicest person I've ever come across - his superiors could learn a thing or two..

  Wow, I am so happy that I chose your company, because they've nice staff and are so so flexible. We had to cancel our trip through the Abel Tasman Nationalpark because of the really bad weather. So normally we booked the AquaTaxi on Saturday, so we would need to wait 2 days, but we just asked the next arriving taxi if we could drive back to Marahau with them without a booking and it was no problem at all and no extra costs or anything. Thank you!

  I was staying in Marahau and booked AquaTaxi as a transfer to Bark Bay. Staff was very friendly and the ride with the fast boat was exciting. Since we had to pick up passengers from Kaiteriteri, we even stopped at the Split Apple Rock to take photos altough it was no part of the service. So I would definitely recommend choosing AquaTaxi if you are staying in Marahau rather of other bigger companies around Abel Tasman.
