Beautiful!

Absolutely stunning scenery. Easy to book, excellent facilities, impeccable timing of trip drop off and pick up. Warm and friendly guides. Beautiful walk through the forest ... well worth every penny, can't rate it highly enough.

Tremendous

This is a must do for anyone wanting to see the whole Abel Tasman coast and can manage a bit of a walk. Definitely not for anyone with poor mobility as the 4.4km track walk is steep and sandy surface/stones. The boat is tip top condition, crew were great, weather wasn't the best, and even so we had a great value full day out.

Don’t hesitate! Book it now!

We had an incredible day out to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary. The staff were so kind and attentive. It was a beautiful sunny day. The walk was invigorating and the views breathtaking. Photos don’t do it justice. We saw baby seals too. Highly recommend this trip. We will remember this forever.
