Amazing

We did the walk & kayak, which was amazing! Had good chats with our guide (I think his name was Henry - I missed the introductions sorry), who was very knowledgeable on the local wildlife and plants, and just overall loved everything about the experience. Even my partner, who's very much an indoor cat, had a great time! The lunch provided was really nice too and I got a vegan option, which was awesome, and we all got dessert and fruit! Despite all my fears, my phone did not get wet either lol. Highly recommend!

Great experience

We had a great time Bit of a mixture of activities and learnings! First time kayaking but the our guide was great making sure we were safe and enjoying. We saw seals, many birds and beautiful scenery of Abel Tasman while learning how to kayak. We walked back from observation bay through coastal track to Marahau. Well maintained walking track with many birds to see. Curious Wekas and Fantails came up to us and we took a few photos with them! Must give it a try if you are visiting Nelson!

Great guided tour

Great guide, thanks to him the trip was more then only kayaking ( from other groups i heard different stories). Humor, education en good stories. Some feedback: we had some confusion about the time to arrive. Not clear . (30 min before arrival time ?? Or so).
