Destination Tasman is a locally owned taxi and shuttle operator based in Motueka, serving the Nelson Tasman region at the top of the South Island. The business is run by Chrissy and Gary, who state a background of more than 20 years in the hospitality and tourism industry.
The operator covers pick-ups and drop-offs across a wide catchment, including Motueka, Kaiteriteri, Marahau, Mapua, Takaka, Collingwood, Nelson and Nelson Airport, Murchison, Rai Valley, Havelock, Picton and the Marlborough and West Coast areas. Its published fleet is a 12-seater van configured with 11 seats for passenger comfort, plus two hybrid Toyota wagons, one of which is an all-wheel-drive RAV4 carrying up to four passengers. The company also operates a purpose-built bike trailer for moving mountain bikers and cyclists and their bikes, supporting riders on the Great Taste Trail, the Heaphy and the Old Ghost Road. A customer loyalty card is offered for frequent travellers.
For business events, the practical application is regional connection rather than large-scale delegate transport. The 11-seat van suits small delegate groups transferring between Nelson Airport and Motueka or Kaiteriteri accommodation, or moving between a conference venue and offsite activities. The long-distance reach to Picton and Murchison is relevant where delegates arrive by ferry or are travelling on to other South Island destinations. The bike trailer capability is a genuine differentiator for incentive and team programmes built around the region's cycle trails, where bikes and riders need to be moved together.
Destination Tasman is best suited to small-group conference transfers, incentive touring and trail-based activity logistics across Nelson Tasman and Golden Bay, rather than high-volume delegate movements.
