5.0/5
We were thoroughly impressed with these guys!
We booked to be dropped off and presumed it was going to be a straight forward ride but they crew were really knowledgeable which really added to the experience! They gave us a tour of split apple rock and shared loads about the local wildlife and area. They were efficient and really friendly - would recommend!

Fun and efficient.
They double as tourist guides and allow you to walk any small or big portion of the Abel Tasman area. Taxis are on time. They make sure you know where you are going when they drop you off. Safe also.

Amazing views of Abel Tasman National Park.
Good to have both walking (hiking) and water tour.

Starting from Marahau, the aqua taxi brings you to several points along the Abel Tasman Coast Track.
Stopping at the divided apple rock and a seal colony, the ride itself is a fantastic activity. Price ($35 to Torrent Bay) is okay. Boats at cruising at 50kmh.

Went on a scenic cruise mid March.
Tour guide skipper Paul was very good and knowledgeable.

Unfriendly and unhelpful staff.
Would not recommend. Schedule was also inconvenient; other water taxi companies seemed more flexible in their scheduling.

These guys were not very nice to deal with.
They didn't operate their taxis on the schedule they posted and after 4 days of hiking, failure of service is not fun. In the end we had to catch one of the Aquataxis, which happened to turn up. When we asked for a refund from Marahau water taxi for not picking us up, they were belligerent and insisted on being paid for failure to deliver the service. I would never ever deal with these guys again. The guy from Aqua taxi was way nicer and it was a very nice experience. Do not book with Marahau Water Taxis.
