Had a wonderful day out. Enjoyed the entire day and the beautiful scenery. Our guide was excellent and provided a lot of interesting information. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to experience Abel Tasman Park in a day

We had a fabelous day during this trip with our guide Alan. He picked us up from our hotel in Nelson and provided nice information on the region during the ride to Kaiteriteri. Alan looked after that we got the best seats on the boat to Medland Beach in the Abel Tasman Natural Park where we started our hike.
The hike of appr. 8.5 km was very well doable, in an amazing beauty of nature and look-outs, with a surprising ending by crossing the Torrent Bay estuarium in knee-high water levels.
Alan provided quite some information on local flora, fauna and Maori customs. He was not only our guide as he also insisted to carry quite some of our luggage during the trip (so sweet!). The positive experience of this guided tour made us so confident that we decided to make another hike in the NP by ourselves the day after.
The relatively high price of this tour was more than worth it; moreover since we were only with the two of us, as a couple, being guided.
Last but not least to mention the efficient and clear communication with the Viator organisation and the beautiful lunch they provided.

This was even better than we expected it to be! Angelika, our guide, was great - she told us everything we wanted to know about local flora and fauna, made sure everyone was able to keep up and kept us well-fed and hydrated throughout the day.
Also, her picking us up in town was really convenient, as we were travelling by bus and train, and getting to Kaiteriteri and beyond would have been impossible otherwise.
Would definitely recommend this tour to others hoping to explore Abel Tasman, one of the most beautiful parts of NZ - which is saying something :)

Angelica was a wonderful host and very knowledgeable about the park. The hike was a lot of fun and the beauty of the place was amazing. Lunch and snacks were wonderful and much more thoughtfully done than most packed lunches. It was a great day

This park is stunning! The beaches are absolutely gorgeous and the hike was cool, shady, and a great experience. My guide was very kind and friendly and offered a lot of information about the vegetation, birds, and history of the park. It was good exercise but not too taxing. They even accommodated my dairy and gluten allergies with a delicious prepared lunch. I would highly recommend!

Angelica was great. Wine and wilderness Tours did a great job. This full day at the park. Includes two boat rides and a nice 2 1/2 to 3 hour trek plus lunch perfect day. I recommended for all ages.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Thank you! We think it's a great way to see the park too! We are really happy you enjoyed your day, we'll pass your feedback on to Angelika :)
Enjoy the rest of your time in New Zealand!

Angelica our guide was knowledgeable and pleasant. We were a group of 3 so she was able to customize our hike according to our interests/ pace etc.
It was nice being picked up and dropped off directly from our hotel. Honestly though, over priced for what it was.

Our guide Zane was amazing, very knowledgeable and attentive. The group was small, only four people, so you really got the chance to ask all your questions. The area is spectacular, very beautiful an full of brilliant views and amazing wildlife. The homemade biscuits and lunch was excellent, great smoked salmon Zane! Also a shoutout to Lucy who drove us to Nelson, very kind and friendly, great chat! Hope to see you all again!

It was marvelous day at Abel Tasman Park (walk, lunch, cruise). Thanks to Lucy, our guide, who is knowledgeable and very polite our group could find out many interesting facts regarding the park and New Zealand. I recommend this tour to anyone. Worth to go and see.

II had a fantastic day. I don't hike a lot, but I did it and I loved it. Beautiful scenery. Such a beautiful nature. The boottrip was very nice.
We were only the three of us. A nice couple from Canada and myself. We had a very nice and friendly guide, Julie. She was stunning. She knew a lot to tell about a the nature plants. The lunch was also good.
