Compact little zoo with loads of opportunities for the kid and the grown-ups. The is definitely a family zoo, where kids can run around and play, engage with the animals and learn new things at the same time. Being in Nelson I questioned how many non-native animals there would be but was surprised at the number of primates. It was encouraging to see the animals in such good condition and well enclosed. I certainly will revisit.

Little zoo but quite nice and cute animals there. Love feeding the alpacas they are so cute. Educational and interesting for young kids. I enjoy the short walk there! Couldn’t spot meerkats, rabbits though. Aquarium is not there anymore or maybe it’s under renovation? But overall still an enjoyable experience. :D

Highly recommended to go and see the best of the best around the top of the South Island with Karin and her Tasman Tours. Clean and comfortable van/mini bus. Very gentle rides. Well explained local history and geography. The cafe in Takaka that Karin recommended offers the best bakeries/pies that you can't normally find in busy cities. Light to medium exercise level (only a couple of 20 minute walks). Overall, it was an unforgettable tour. I'll definitely recommend my friends and colleagues to join Karin's tours. Thanks Karin for making my Nelson trip much much better than I expected. Ta.

I had a great time on the tour yesterday. Totaranui beach wasn’t as amazing as it’s hyped up to be but still a beautiful beach. Karin is so knowledgeable about nz history, fauna and flora. Takaka was a great lunch stop, lots of nice shops and a Saturday market, great food places. The springs at the end were wonderful.

From getting checked in to jumping out ... I felt like I was in great hands. We had to switch my jump from 16.5k ot 13k - fine by me. It was my first jump and I am terrified of heights. My goal was to do it and overcome my fear, but to do that I needed to trust the team. And that I did. They were patient, attentive, fun, and helped me keep a level head ... until the door opened ... I am still thinking back to the drop and and man ... it was surreal but fantastic. So grateful to everyone there and to a once in a life experience. Thanks Y'all!

I was bit nervous and scared about the jump given I’m afraid of heights. The staff were really supportive and explained everything. The owner even had a chat must of see I was nervous he has done around 17000 jumps in his time (wicked)! Dan the tandem guy was awesome we even did some flips and tricks. All the staff make you feel at ease. Such an awesome experience really, nothing like it. I upgraded to the 16500ft jump, if you’re going up you might as well do the highest jump it was well worth the extra cash. #skydiveabeltasman
