Review for: Abel Tasman Cruise and Walk (AT004)

A beautiful boat ride to a nice nature hiking trip. The tour agent is located in the row of tour agents between the restaurant and the camping shop. The boat is nice and it brings you to the island where the seals are before dropping us off.

Review for: Abel Tasman Cruise and Walk (AT004)

Although a little cold, but the service is very attentive. It is also rare to see sea lions! I twisted my feet while hiking, and the crew has ice pillows, which is really considerate.

Review for: Abel Tasman Cruise and Walk (AT004)

A beautiful boat ride and hike. You should see some wonderful seals pirouetting in the sea or basking on the rocks. We were lucky enough to see a blue penguin swimming near the seals. Hike is mostly easy from Tonga bay to Medlands beach though there are some muddy areas and inclines that might be challenging for some. The views and the beaches are well worth the trek though.

This boat and walking trip through the Abel Tasman national park is one of the most beautiful trips with great friendly staff, comfortable boat, glorious scenery and easy walking tracks, this is a special opportunity to experience the Abel Tasman. It has lots of flexibility, short or long walks, great accommodation and one of the world's most unspoilt coast lines.

There are so many beautiful places in the South Island. I actually tried to pass it. Abel Tasman National Park is so beautiful. The marine scenery of the ferry ride was beautiful, and the 2 hour trek was great too. I will stick.

We loved the selection of boat trips and walks. Finding one perfect for us, and exactly as described, we arrived earlier at our walking destination. It was a wonderful day, made for the visitors.

Abel Tasman is an absolutely stunning place that must come. The whole is very good, and thanks to that day calm and sunny and warm weather. In this trip to the ring bay, we learned a lot of things, the scenery is very beautiful. Highly recommended!

We booked a cruise + on foot. KLOOK service is very good, from booking, to get tickets, and then to the ferry on the staff of the service, all are so friendly and helpful. If you visit the Nelson area, I recommend this is a must visit, the whole family will enjoy the trip.
