A fabulous day. Kayaking was amazing & with the gear provided we were warm & dry . We saw a leopard seal on the beach. The scenery on the afternoon walk was stunning & the track was easy to walk . Mitch was a knowledgeable & informative guide . Would recommend this day out .

Reviews: Abel Tasman: Beaches, Bays & Seals Kayak Tour with Cruise
Guest User2026-10-26
Myself and my wife booked a guided Kayak tour, which had to be outsourced to another company due to last minute staff absence. Wilson communicated very well in advance and explained the reasons and how this would not effect the tour. The kayaking element was outsourced to another local company. This did not effect our experience at all, our guide was waiting for us when we got off the boat and gave us a warm welcome. Our guide was Harley and he gave us an amazing tour of Abel Tasman and made the day lots of fun. We wouldnt have known that the kayaking had be outsourced on the day, however, we appreciated the communication and honesty from Wilsons. The best part was seeing tonnes of seals on our kayaking trip and dolphins on the boat.
