Reviews: Abel Tasman National Park: Day Sailing Adventure with Lunch
Guest User2026-01-16
The sailing trip was lovely, although the weather wasn't ideal as the sun was taking a break and the wind was calm. However, the skipper and guide really made it happen! Flipper and his siblings even joined us, which made the trip even more enjoyable. The packed lunch was a bit basic for the price, and the instant coffee was just okay. The boat was very clean and tidy. Many thanks to the team! L & E★

Reviews: Abel Tasman National Full Park Scenic Cruise
Guest User2026-01-21
Great value for money. Something to note: Boat Pick up is 1hour from Nelson. The boat stops regularly to drop off passengers. The full cruise option requires you to stay on the boat at all times. We had a wonderful cruise. Awesome customer service and great commentary along the way providing information about the area. Would recommend.★

Reviews: Abel Tasman: Sea Shuttle Cruise and Walking Tour Combo
Guest User2026-01-19
The option of being driven to and from one of the many beaches in Abel Tasman National Park is fantastic, as it means you only have to hike a chosen trail in one direction. We chose option B, and while it was a long hike for casual walkers like us, it was absolutely beautiful overall, with swing bridges, breathtaking views, and idyllic beaches.★

Reviews: Abel Tasman National Park: Cruise, Walk & Sailing Tour
Guest User2026-01-16
I thoroughly recommend doing this activity for anyone spending time in Abel Tasman. The shuttle was a great way to get to Anchorage Bay which had the most amazing walks and views as well as being the most wonderful beach. The sail back was the perfect way to finish of our day and teh crew where both very accommodating and informative. I recommend buying the lunches from the operator as they were well worth it.
