Amazing experience

Mary_P, Mar 2024

We had an amazing day - captain Tim was fabulous. We were two Canadians travelling with six New Zealanders - all of whom had been out on the water many times. One was a former guide in the park. My husband and I were in awe but the bigger complement was that our locals friends thought the day was amazing! Seals, kayaks, swimming and a beautiful lunch! Thank you so much - I would do this again in a heartbeat! Worth every penny. Thank you tim for a great day!!!

We don’t have enough good things to say about this experience and our captains Emma and Kim. They were super sweet and attentive and the boat was very nice. It was educational and the scenic views were something else. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. GO GO GO.

Making the most out of one day in Abel Tasman

Lynn_J, Mar 2023

The captain of the boat, Tim, was genuinely intent with us having a great day. He went out of his way to make sure were were cared for in every aspect of our day. From what we wanted to see and do to unexpected treats like feeding fish with bread in our toes. He kindly made sure all directions were clear when we kayaked and hiked. Great day!!

Response from Host, Mar 2023
