5 star rating Brilliant Brilliant tour with super knowledgable guides. The staff were all so friendly, the tour was well organised and never felt rushed. Special thanks to the staff who found our lost camera and posted it on down to our next stop for us!

Slightly on the expensive side, but overall a very good service. We did the 3 day freedom kayaking trip, which was definitely one of the highlights of our time in New Zealand.

Kaka, Tūi and bellbird, flitting through the bush before the rest of the park wakes up.

First light on the Coast Track sounds like this - no traffic, no chatter, just birdsong doing most of the talking. Worth being up for.

Early starts have their reasons.

There`s a particular kind of quiet that settles in once the tent`s up and the kettle`s on.

What`s your version of switching off?

Astrolabe Roadstead doesn`t show up on the standard tourist map — mostly because you can`t drive to it.

Twelve beaches and a couple of islands, only reachable by water. It`s one of the one of our favourites to paddle.

Ever paddled somewhere you couldn`t have walked to?

We look forward to welcoming our first summer guests on the water again this week, and it`s worth saying: every guest contributes directly to the National Park.

Hear Jack talk about why tourism only works if nature comes first 🌿

Ready to get naturing this season?

That water ... 💙 The Abel Tasman is famous for its crystal-clear, turquoise seas – the perfect backdrop for kayaking.
