- Our Abel Tasman shuttles provide complimentary pickups and dropoffs to and from your accommodation, downtown and airport locations
- We can help with storage of your gear while you walk the track
- The flights are spectacular, our pilots and drivers give great commentary, and you’ll have more time to spend where it matters—on the track!
Note minimum 2 fares may apply (except for Wellington-Takaka service) but flight fare specials are available on repositioning legs of flights that are already booked. Single shuttle fares are available on shuttles that have existing bookings in place.
