What our customers say

Ik heb genoten van het eerste gedeelte, de eigen hike op de Abel Tasman Coast Track naar Observation beach, met al die prachtige viewpoints. Daarna een heerlijke lunch aan het water, om vervolgens na goede instructies van jonge guide Sam, met de Kayak langs de stranden en baaien terug te peddelen. We hadden ineens even slecht weer waardoor hij ons heel verstandig snel naar main land bracht. Gelukkig knapte het op en hebben we lekker in de zon verder kunnen kayakken. Misschien een beetje duur, maar het is zeer de moeite waard!

At high tide they rise like little islands; at low tide they reveal hidden channels and textures that make this coastline endlessly interesting.
