Pick up time: 7 a.m.
7 a.m.?! Since ours was only the second stop on the AquaTaxi route, we got to
see most of Nelson’s
hotels and hostels as the full-size bus rounded up more tourists headed for a
day of adventures in Abel Tasman National Park. Apparently, all the outfitters that
operate in the park hire AquaTaxi to transport their clients from Nelson to
their bases, and then take clients back to their various lodgings at the end of
the day. It's an efficient, incredibly cooperative way to do business.
