Great experience
We had a great time Bit of a mixture of activities and learnings! First time kayaking but the our guide was great making sure we were safe and enjoying. We saw seals, many birds and beautiful scenery of Abel Tasman while learning how to kayak. We walked back from observation bay through coastal track to Marahau. Well maintained walking track with many birds to see. Curious Wekas and Fantails came up to us and we took a few photos with them! Must give it a try if you are visiting Nelson!

Beautiful, some disappointing logistics
While generally I enjoyed the experience - it was beautiful and everyone was very professional, and I had a great guide, I was last minute switched from the group that had hiked all together to a group that had taken the boat to the beach. As a result, the group was not very athletic or good at kayaking, and we didn't make it to the island or discuss the geography as much as I would have liked. Ultimately, a bit over priced for my final experience - I wish there was a more affordable option for solo travelers or a way to determine kayak ability before making groups.

Amazing
We did the walk & kayak, which was amazing! Had good chats with our guide (I think his name was Henry - I missed the introductions sorry), who was very knowledgeable on the local wildlife and plants, and just overall loved everything about the experience. Even my partner, who's very much an indoor cat, had a great time! The lunch provided was really nice too and I got a vegan option, which was awesome, and we all got dessert and fruit! Despite all my fears, my phone did not get wet either lol. Highly recommend!
