Chaddy’s Charters

Chaddy’s Charters is one of the oldest attractions in Taranaki. It was set up by ‘professional sea dog’, David ‘Chaddy’ Chadfield, in 1993, and has operated continuously since then.

It was taken over Carl Hayman and Kiko Matthews in October 2020. It provides a wildlife cruise to NZ’s most northern fur seal colony as well as bike, kayak and standup paddleboard hire and lessons.

As well as customer satisfaction, the community and environment are at the heart of the business.
