Abel Tasman for Walkers from Nelson
Golden Bay Air provides daily scheduled shuttles that enable the Abel Tasman Coast Track to be walked from Marahau to Wainui Bay or reverse. Book single legs or one of our Abel Tasman shuttle transport packages for walkers. Choose your pick up and drop off location when you book online. Easy!
Minimum two fares may apply on services that have no existing bookings. Solo travellers can search and book on existing services, or contact us to book the two-fare minimum. If others then book on the same leg, we will refund any additional fare paid less a refund fee.
We recommend you check out the availability of your Abel Tasman transport before you book your huts or campsites with the Department of Conservation.
