Abel Tasman Air Charters

With Abel Tasman Air you can get direct flights between Awaroa and Motueka, Nelson, Wellington, Takaka or any other location.

Fly and Dine—if you’re short on time or just want to avoid the crowds whilst experiencing the best, fly in and dine at Awaroa Lodge, relax on the beach then fly back home.

Abel Tasman Loop—board the Aqua Taxi (courtesy coach provided) for a wonderful boat ride to Awaroa, relax on the beach, stroll in the bush and dine at the beautiful Awaroa Lodge before the scenic flight home at your convenience.

Heaphy Track with our Abel Tasman Air Charters

With Abel Tasman Air you can get connecting flights between Karamea and Takaka, Motueka, Nelson, Tapawera and Wellington.

Our timings are flexible to fit in with your travel plans as well as being able to link up with buses and shuttle services for a total transport service.

Guided Heaphy Track Walk—for the ultimate track experience to make what is a great walk into a once in a lifetime experience. On a guided trip, your meals will be taken care of, all arrangements will be looked after so you have a relaxing and hassle free experience.

Day Tours with our Abel Tasman Air Charters

These are some of our most popular day tours:

The Abel Tasman Experience—enjoy a scenic flight around Tasman Bay to the Awaroa inlet where you can enjoy the golden beaches, a walk in the Abel Tasman National park and a superb lunch at the award winning Awaroa Lodge.

West Coast “Bush and Beyond”—a wonderful scenic flight through the mountains of Kahurangi National Park, New Zealand’s most diverse and ecologically important park, landing at the West Coast settlement of Karamea.

Kaikoura Whale Watching and Crayfish Lunch—the flight to Kaikoura is spectacular enough and then viewing the whales from a helicopter is likely to be a memory that lasts forever. The lunch of local fresh crayfish and wine just might complete the day, except that you return home via the mountains to complete a day of a lifetime.

Flight Training and Fun Flights in Nelson

Being a small operation, we are able to offer individualised flight training. We specialise in some of the “hard to get” areas of flight experience, like strip flying, taildragger ratings, emergency spin recovery, and aerobatics with our fun flights in Nelson.

You can achieve the licence you desire with us or just come and fly while you holiday in the Abel Tasman region. Plus, you get to do it in clear blue skies over stunning scenery!
