You also have the option to hire a water taxi and skipper for a special charter trip or occasion. This includes school and other group trips, photography missions, team building activities and pretty much anything else you can think of.
We run a daily shuttle bus to Marahau from Nelson and Motueka. If you don’t have your own transport please give us a call on 0800 80 80 18 to add bus transfers to your booking.
