Abel Tasman Family Fun

The Abel Tasman Water Taxi & Beach Day is an unforgettable experience for families. You'll start by hopping on the water taxi at either Kaiteriteri or Marahau, then get dropped off at one of the beautiful beaches like Anchorage Bay or Bark Bay.

Spend the day swimming, exploring, and enjoying the sunshine with your kids. The beaches are truly world-class, with golden sand and crystal-clear water. No multi-day tramping required, making it accessible for families with little ones.

We found the water taxi service to be efficient and friendly, with knowledgeable staff happy to answer any questions about the area.

The Abel Tasman Water Taxi & Beach Day is suitable for kids of all ages, from 0+. The price is $70 per adult and $45 per child, which we think is great value considering the experience you get. The beaches are stroller-friendly, and there are plenty of picnic areas and toilet facilities.

While it's not the cheapest activity, we believe it's worth every penny. The scenery is breathtaking, and the kids will love the freedom to explore and play in the beautiful surroundings.

To make the most of your day, we recommend booking the water taxi for the morning to avoid the crowds. The best time to visit is during the summer months (December to February) when the weather is warm and sunny.

Don't forget to pack plenty of sunscreen, hats, and water, as well as a picnic lunch to enjoy on the beach. You can also purchase food and drinks from the cafes at Kaiteriteri or Marahau before you depart.

Booking the Abel Tasman Water Taxi & Beach Day is easy. You can book online through the official website or at the ticket office in Kaiteriteri or Marahau.

To save money, consider booking a family ticket or looking out for special deals and discounts on the website. We also recommend checking for any package deals that include accommodation and activities.

While the Abel Tasman Water Taxi & Beach Day is an amazing experience for families, there are a few downsides to consider. The water taxi can get crowded during peak season, and the beaches can get busy.

Additionally, there are no lifeguards on duty, so you'll need to keep a close eye on your kids when they're swimming. However, we think the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks, and with some planning, you can have a wonderful day out with your family.
