I had an incredible day with Abel Tasman Sailing Adventures. I initially missed the pick up but the staff were amazingly helpful and were able to get me to the boat and meet up with everyone else. Thank you very and would highly recommend.

An excellent trip. Skipper Mark and his assistant Yasmina were great. The sightseeing, the swim at lunch and a good sail home , blessed with excellent weather made it a great day out.

Friendly and professional staff. Magnificent landscapes. Unfortunately, there were no seals that day. The 3h walk back it's a must do!

Stunning scenery and plenty of space on the boat to relax or take photos .

Great trip! We were only 4 participants and it was awesome :-)
