I had a great time on the tour yesterday. Totaranui beach wasn’t as amazing as it’s hyped up to be but still a beautiful beach. Karin is so knowledgeable about nz history, fauna and flora. Takaka was a great lunch stop, lots of nice shops and a Saturday market, great food places. The springs at the end were wonderful.
Blair was really lovely & funny & even let us go far later than our booked time when I made an error in planning! Was an amazing experience - such a beautiful area to fly over.... highly recommend! :)
Very well organized tour and kind and courteas tour guides. A very memorable trip to the Abel Tasman Park and Golden Bay
It was such a fantastic day out. We got stuck behind an accident for 2/3 hours and they put us on a later boat with no stress which we really appreciated. Everyone who worked there was very friendly and you could tell they wanted you to have the best experience.
Just an amazing day, what a day way to see this beautiful part of the country. Thank you such a wonderful day.
The Abel Tasman national park had great beaches and bush walks. It was sunny and beautiful. We enjoyed the tour on the water and the walk in the hills. The day trip was relaxing and nice. What impressed us most was the service of Wilsons. The day tour included a bush walk between two beaches and we were supposed to wait on a beach to be picked up on our way back. I made a mistake and waited on a wrong beach. The staff came to look for us and took us back to the boat. If it were not them, we would have to spend a night in the park. They were very responsible and kind. We will recommend the day tour and also Wilsons.
We were fortunate enough to see a pod of dolphins and fur seals.
My kids 9 and 11 year olds absolutely loved this experience. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves tramping and enjoys beautiful scenery. What a fantastic day.
A great way to see Abel Tasman Park and surrounds. Murray, our driver/guide, was very helpful and informative. The short walk was very good for people like myself who don't do long tramps. The forest was invigorating and there was a waterfall and beautiful beach at the end. There was plenty of time to enjoy Barks Bay before walking to the next bay for pickup.
We had a great time and the experience tour guide helped us a lot all the way through. Highly recommended
Our guide Brad was super patient with our kids age 9 and 11. He made our Kayaking one of the most memorable experience ever. Anyone wanting to try Kayaking should definitely make a booking with Kahu Kayaks. We will be back next year.
Fantastic experience and Brad been very helpful and he also provided us the best route. We spotted many seals and visited both islands. We stopped at beach for snacks and water and almost a nap. Highly recommend!
We had a spectacular time on our morning guided Kayak tour - couldn’t have asked for better. Jess our guide (along with everyone at Kahu Kayaks, who were all super friendly) was brilliant, looked after us so we’ll, and made sure we had a fun & interesting time. The weather was in our favour, and we really enjoyed a good couple of ours paddling around the coast, and some time on the secluded beaches & bays too. Can’t recommend it highly enough!
Beaucoup d’explications fournies au départ (un peu étourdissant ! ) sur le fonctionnement et la sécurité ... le kayak était propre, avec tout l’équipement nécessaire. Nous avons passé une superbe journée sur une mer calme avec arrêts multiples sur les plages de l’astrolabe et sur Adele Island, avec en prime de nombreux phoques. L’équipe de Kahu a été formidable.
Everything were beautiful. We are very happy with the experience
Staff are friendly and our day was perfect.
LOVED our experience with Kahu Kayaks. We did the freedom kayak tour and had a double kayak all day with freedom to explore the park. We spent the day kayaking up to empty golden beaches, chilling in the sun and swimming in the sea. We even saw some baby seals on the rocks and swimming by our kayaks. Kahu were great too, shout out to Brad for his amazing intro and tips to help us feel safe, comfortable and get the most out of our day! Kayaks were in amazing condition and the price was the best I’d seen around. Definitely recommend!
I highly recommend the team at Kahu Kayaks we had an awesome day.
Fantastic day out, the kayak was very stable (mind you the sea was very flat!) Great price too. Looses a star as we had not been told where to aim for on the low tide return pickup.
Brad was great. The whole thing was easy. Such a great experience!
It was an amazing trip. Our guide was super helpful and told us a lot of stories about the different locations that we visited. We saw seal pups and many sea birds. The day was brilliant and we will definitely kayak with Wilson’s again.
We loved this track and walk, it was beautiful scenery and would highly recommended it. Great value for money.
The Cruise is scenic and the walking track is brilliant. Do take the trail to cleopatra's Pool.
My partner and I really enjoyed our flight, 30minutes is more than enough time to see it all. Blair our pilot was great, and told of lots about the area. Would recommnend this to everyone! Thanks again.
From checking in at Wilson’s at Kaiteriteri-Sandy beach to returning back it was a wonderful day trip. The itinerary gave you 5 hrs to complete the walk to get back in time for your boat home. That is plenty of time for a 11.5 k walk/ hike. We are fit 28/30 year olds but we walked very slowly through the Tasman taking in the sunshine, surroundings and sounds of the birds and water . Was just perfect . Highly recommend
Wow. We loved that this was a family business as we definitely felt they wanted the best for us. The weather wasn’t meant to be great but they kept in touch and gave us a number of options. Luckily we managed to get out with a guide who was amazing. Tom was English and only having been here less than 4 years had a mountain of knowledge about the area and the Māori connections.
Highly recommended. Our tour guide Lucas was very professional and attentive to every detail. Felt very safe even for beginners.
Every thing was very well organised and explained. Rosco our guide was very good and looked after everyone very well. Was a great way of celebrating my birthday
Really enjoyed the guided kayak to split apple rock. The weather was great and the coastline beautiful. We saw some Wray fish, star fish, Oyster Catchers and Shags. Enjoyed a picnic on beach and swim in the sea. Explored beach rocks and lagoon. Thank you ti Quinn for a great morning.
Fantastic! The guide was really nice and everything was wonderful. Definitely, we are gonna book again :)
R&R Kayaks were brilliant. From front desk to safety briefing, drop off to pick up - super friendly and helpful! Tom was awesome. Great knowledge of the area, where to go, what to see and do. His enthusiasm was contagious and his sense of humour also put us at ease. I really appreciated his use of Te Reo casually thrown in as well. Kia ora. Equipment including the Kayaks were great. More comfortable and roomy than I expected. As for the day out on the water.... Spectacular! We couldn't have asked for a more amazing day out. The day was overcast, the waters calm and warm, the sea and birdlife spectacular!
Good trip and great guide. Highly recommend
It’s so fun experience
Loved the service and equipment, would definitely recommend!
