Randonnée magnifique
Nous cherchions une randonnée avec de jolies points de vue, celle est magnifique en 4h nous avons largement eu le temps de faire la randonnée en s’arrêtant sur la plage de Sandfly et aller jusqu’à Cleopatre pools on s’est également arrêté pour déjeuner (15min) et nous avons fait la randonnée à un rythme normal avec pauses photos. Donc en 4h vous avez largement le temps de faire la randonnée et de profiter de la plage d’Anchorage. Puis si vous voulez profiter davantage de la plage, n’hésitez pas à changer l’horaire du bateau retour, selon la saison à laquelle vous ferez cette excursion cela est possible. Personnel agréable et barreau très bien.

Must do
We had a walk for few hours. Good lookout with an easy track. Good value for money compare to the taxi boats.

Agréable croisiere
Nous avons passé une très agréable journée dans le parc Abel Tasman. Le personnel de Wilsons était sympathique et efficace, le bateau était également confortable. Nous avions choisi la croisière Vista - Swing Bridge Bush and Beach, le bateau nous a déposé à Meedlands Beach vers 10 h 45 et nous à repris à Anchorage Beach vers 15 h 15. Nous avons juste regretté de ne pas avoir pu profiter plus longtemps des magnifiques plages car la randonnée prenait environ 4 heures, nous sommes donc arrivés à Anchorage Beach à 14 h 45. Le retour devrait être prévu plus tard dans l'après midi. Sinon c'était une magnifique journée

Awesome day trek!
The weather had packed up a couple of days ago which made the paths and treks muddier than usual. However that hadn't made the slightest impact on having a great walk! The Falls River Swing Bridge could only bear 5 people on it at a time and had a very graphic warning sign. It took us 4.5 hours with very leisurely/ steady pace, including lots of photo stops, lunch break and a detour to visit Cleopatra's Pool. Turned out to the be most refreshing detour with crisp, crystal clear water washing your wariness/ tiredness away towards to the end of the walk!

Parfait
Le bateau nous a récupérer et est venu nous chercher au point de rendez-vous à l’heure. Nous avons pu faire une magnifique randonnée de 4 h sans avoir à se soucier comment rentrer. L’avantage de cette croisière par rapport au taxi boat c’est qu’à l’aller nous avons les explications sur l’ensemble des points importants de la côte. En prime nous avons pu voir des phoques 🤩
