Join Wilsons Abel Tasman for an extra special cruising day trip into the magical Tonga Island Marine Reserve and beyond.
Let Wilsons Abel Tasman take you on a spectacular journey.
Cruise the Abel Tasman golden granite coast into Tonga Island Marine Reserve, then land at an idyllic beach to walk along the famous coastal track.
From Kaiteriteri, travel in style and comfort aboard the Vista Cruise into the Marine Reserve. Pause to view the antics at Tonga Island Seal Colony, and then cruise past remote northern beaches fringed by lush rainforest.
Turning around at the long, golden sands of Totaranui, return to historic Tonga Quarry Beach to start your walk. A gentle climb takes you over a beautiful forested saddle, leading to the waterfall trail around the stunning Bark Bay Inlet.
Relax or take a swim at Bark Bay before a walk to picturesque Medlands Beach to rejoin the cruise back to Kaiteriteri.
Departures: 9:20am from Kaiteriteri, return to Kaiteriteri at approx 4.15pm
Walk Duration: 2 Hours
We had a fantastic day's adventure and area thinking to return to make this a multi-day trip. FYI: I was so glad we went from Tonga Bay through to Bark Bay, as this was much easier going that in the opposite direction!!! The other good thing to note is that there is plenty of time to walk the track, you do not need to rush, so stop and enjoy the scenery, as it is spectacular
This our first time travelling with Wilson and exploring Abel Tasman. The staff were so friendly and informational. The guide on the boat was fantastic. We loved every bit of it. Was a lovely walk from Tonga Quarry and dip in the sea. Also the lovely weka steal your food and check out your stuff hahahahahaha was so funny. Throughout enjoyed the whole experience.
I have done the Able Tasman tracks many times and always bring friends visiting on the full day Wilson Tour of the Able Tasman - and it’s always such a highlight of their trip. Wilson staff are friendly, experienced and are always warm welcoming - especially lovely Katie who also goes above and beyond to make visitors experiences so memorable. Keep up the fantastic work Wilson’s!

Great experience
The trip was amazing. The only issue was because was raining a lot in the morning and we couldn't get a 100% refund. Anyway, we devide to go ahead with the trip and the weather got better on the afternoon. Was a great experience and I highly recommend.
