This is a blog post with some background into how we started out in the water transport business almost 30 years ago and a recent change we've made to our branding.

In October 2025, Mārahau Water Taxis officially merged with Abel Tasman AquaTaxi. Explore the Abel Tasman National Park with one convenient water taxi service.

It has been a privilege to be able to support the Marahau Halo Trapping Project with funds raised through the Mārahau Pledge.

Huge thanks to Chris and Jared and all the volunteers working the traplines. Man, we have a cool little community!
