Abel Tasman Centre

The girls working there were so lovely. Considering the place is a bustling tourist place, they didn't set the price to be ridiculously high, which I really appreciate. They have camping supplies and snack bars for your walk. Make sure to pop in and restock before you start your walk.

I'm a bit confused what this place is. I was driving to a tourist information on google maps, which turned out to be a kayaking store without anyone behind the counter but an information to go next door. Next door turned out to be somewhat of a mixture between store and tour company. Staff helped but could have been more forthcoming and more willing to share information. The lady just really only did what was asked but provided no add. info beyond that and appeared generally uninterested.

Very friendly and helpful staff, helped us to organise our 3-day freedom trip from scratch with awesome advice - thank you! Clean and modern building where you can book everything (kayak, water taxis, campground) and also buy camping food for the trip and souvenirs 🙌

An absolutely incredible centre at the bend of the road into Marahau - very well stocked and priced facilities, good quality amenities with incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Great atmosphere and resources - lots of local pride and love, which is great to see. Wonderfully, was also able to send a few postcards direct from the shop (even a lil seated area to sit and write) - pleasant surprise and again super helpful staff.

​I would like to express my complete and unreserved satisfaction with the service I received on November 11th during my tramp in the Abel Tasman National Park. ​I used your water taxi service to get to the starting point of my hike, and the entire experience was outstanding, mainly thanks to the skipper, Vaughan. ​✨ Vaughan's Service Was Above and Beyond Expectation: ​Exceptional Personal Service: Vaughan demonstrated outstanding professionalism, kindness, and genuine warmth. He was very attentive, made sure I felt safe and comfortable, and turned the boat ride into an enjoyable and unforgettable part of the trip. ​Comprehensive Guidance: He provided extremely helpful explanations and guidance regarding the track, the routes, and points of interest along the way, which significantly enhanced my hiking experience. ​Safety and Professionalism: His transport was safe, efficient, and perfectly on time, exactly as promised. ​Thanks to Vaughan, the start of my tramp was perfect. People like him make all the difference in the customer experience, and he deserves every possible commendation for the service he provides. ​I highly recommend your water taxi services, and I especially recommend that anyone traveling in the area request to sail with Vaughan. ​Thank you very much! ​Sincerely, Tal Rosner
