Transport to Nelson, to seasonal work and backpacker accommodation

It's really easy to get here! There are lots of transport options for getting around the beautiful Nelson Tasman region once you are here - buses, shuttles, planes, boats, rental cars and more.

This section gives you all your options of getting to Nelson Tasman (and getting away - not that you'll want to leave). Getting around the region once you are here is also covered. If you are looking for water taxi options in the Abel Tasman National Park please go to the activity page on this site.

Contact operators directly by either email or heading on thru to their website for more information. Some operators have an enlarged listing page for more information. If you have found this site useful and make an enquiry from it please let the operator know where you heard about them from. Happy travelling .....

TRAMPERS TRANSPORT

The region has within it three National Parks and lots of other great walks. There are a number of companies that specialise in getting trampers to and from the start and end of the walks - these are below. Some of the other buses also take you to the start or can pick you up from the end of walks so also check out listings under buses.

For more information on the National Parks head to our Essential Guides page.
