Description

Abel Tasman Tours has been crafting memorable customized vacations to New Zealand, Australia, Fiji, Tahiti and the Islands of the South Pacific since 1989. Our mission statement is: Treat each trip as if it were our own.

If you would like help structuring your entire itinerary, we'll start at the beginning, or if you've already booked your flights, we'll design a land package to suit your preferences and budget.

Each of our travel consultants has traveled extensively throughout the South Pacific and is able to help you make decisions based on personal knowledge of hotels, bed and breakfasts, tours and attractions.

If you've ever tried to arrange a trip yourself you'll know how often you've wanted to simply ask someone who has been there.

The Company...

Abel Tasman was the seventeenth-century Dutch explorer who was the first to chart much of the Australian and New Zealand coasts. The wee island of Tasmania bears his name.

Seattle-based Abel Tasman Tours has been honored to have been helping create memorable vacations Down Under since 1989. A leader in our niche, we focus solely on the South Pacific and are able to offer a depth of knowledge that can't easily be found. Our team is comprised of highly experienced travel planners, and each member has a passion about our very special destinations.

We are fully ARC (Airline Reporting Commission) accredited, are a licensed Seller of Travel in Washington State (#601279492), and are very proud to be a Preferred Qantas Partner. Abel Tasman Tours has the experience it takes to give you all the confidence you need when choosing a travel company.

If you wanted to explore the wine regions of New Zealand, or to do some spectacular day hikes, we would tailor the itinerary to include those areas.
