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 short walk to picturesque Medlands Beach to rejoin the cruise back to Kaiteriteri.
Departures: 9:20am from Kaiteriteri, return to Kaiteriteri at approx 4.10pm

The cruise stop at few points and allow us to see the view of Abel Tasman, and we have sufficient time for the track. Just the weather is a bit cold outside of cruise, have to wear more warm clothes. However, inside the cafe is warm and comfortable, light foods and drinks were provided at reasonable price.
We were enjoying the sites from the boat and being on the water that we decided to stay on the boat and skip the 2-hour hike. The boat made stops along the way and we stayed on the top deck to really experience the scenery.
Was a long cruise dropping different groups all along the coast we got back to Tonga quarry at 12pm. Was a 90min walk through the high tide track, nice forest walk to bark bay then 10min to Nedlands beach for pick up at 3 back at base at 4.

Amazing day Nice cruise, we can see all the good spots. We can see a lot of seals, very close to them, it's really nice. For the walk, the time for the walk is too long, they should drop off on the next beach because it's a short walk 1h45 no more. I advise the high tide side, nice view :) Journée splendide La croisière était très agréable, on peut prendre pas mal de photos vu qu'on est très près de la paroie à chaque fois, c'est vraiment très beau. On voit également des phoques pendant la croisière aller et retour. Pour la randonnée, le temps qu'on nous laisse (environ 3h) est bien trop important pour le temps de la rando (1h45 pas plus), ils devraient modifier ça
