A fantastic day afloat with some really good sailing in the afternoon. Skipper Marco and first mate Hannah were great hosts for the day and ensured everyone had a great view of the Able Tasman park from the sea along with closeup with seals and native birds at Adele Island. The tours also takes in the iconic Split Rock and today with the very high tide we even had an up river sojourn into Torrent bay. Good lunch at the gorgeous Anchorage with pristine white sand and crystal clear water for swimming. For sailors like us this was a great trip to enjoy sailing in this beautiful part of the world.

Such a fantastic way to experience Abel Tasman, our guide Claudia was great and the sailboat ride was fantastic. I recommend getting lined up to board early so you can get one of the seats out front for the best experience. The hike from the beach our boat dropped us off at back to our car was a moderate hike with a few steep sections, well marked and with multiple beaches to stop at on the way!

Three of us took this tour and had a great day. We were picked up from our hostel in Nelson which was really handy as we didn't have a car and the bus timing didn't work out. The people were really helpful & friendly and we enjoyed the cruise and the hiking. The combo was a perfect way to spend the day.

Lovely day out! Did option 3 and it was a nice hike but definitely need to keep moving for most of the time to be able to catch the boat back! We did a little detour up at the beginning to see Awaroa bay from above
