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
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.
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.
Just an amazing day, what a day way to see this beautiful part of the country. Thank you such a wonderful day.
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.
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.
We were fortunate enough to see a pod of dolphins and fur seals.
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.
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.
Super bien organiser, le bateau nous a déposé sur le lieu de la randonnée, une petite randonnée tranquille, avec de beau point de vue,sans grande difficulté.
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
The walk trip it's amazing. During the trip you 'll found different landscape and birds
It was very nice experience I had with them. Doc was super host for our awesome trip! Although he was been in the area for 3months, he had knowledge about national park. I highly recommend it.
I am glad the trip was canceled on the Sunday because of bad weather. Monday the rain stopped and the sun came out. The views and walk was the best I have done. Really enjoyed my day. The boat was on time and sea was flat.
Great day out roaming through the beautiful Abel Tasman and seeing more than enough birds and seals! Paddy was a great guide, super friendly and helpful. All in all a great day and highly recommended.
The whole experience was amazing! The cruise was nice, with a lot of interesting information about the area and it's history. The kayak trip was a highlight of my whole trip in New Zealand. Caleb was a wonderful guide; he's incredibly pleasant and knowledgeable with a keen focus on making the trip enjoyable while ensuring that we were safe. I couldn't recommend this experience more.
At last got to go on the tour on Farewell Spit. Great day out, Great commentary, Great cuppa tea at the lighthouse. Just a little disappointed not to get to the end of the Spit. My husband decided to roll down the big sand dune on the return trip which was fun to watch, but not so much for him as when CRACK a broken rib was his reward. Still he is 56.
A lovely brisk sunny day. Not as much walking to places as I had expected, we got off bus to wander a sand dune, look at a couple of interesting vista's at Fossil Bay and Cape Farewell. Alan, driver, was a font of endless knowledge. Stopped often to look at all sorts of different birds, from the bus. I enjoyed myself.
A fabulous day trip offering an insight to a part of NZ that few get to see. Kirsten, our tour guide, was energetic and full of enthusiasm to ensure we all got to see everything this unusual habitat had to offer. It was hard to imagine how 6.5 hrs on a tour bus was going to stay interesting but you are off and on so often that time flies by and the end comes too quickly! You dont need to be an avid bird watcher to be in awe of the beauty- Kersten will ensure you know what you are seeing and provide a fullfilling experience of NZ nature. A definite tick on the bucket-list.
What a fabulous trip! Elaine kept us laughing the whole way and is very knowledgeable about the history of the area and of the types of birds. Very good value for money and it was more than just a tour to the Spit. The scenery is just unbelievable. Lots of opportunities to stretch your legs so that you're not stuck in a bus for 6 hrs. Would highly recommend!
From the time we left Collingwood, to Cape Farewell [the most northerly point of the South Island]. over the Spit to the lighthouse we had a fantastic trip. Our driver and guide [Alan] was such a delight. He happily shared his extensive knowledge about the Spit, the wildlife, and history of the region. He provided an impressive, almost non-stop commentary. One of the passengers fittingly likened him to "Crocodile Dundee" of Collingwood, and this was demonstrated as he released the bus from the clutches of the shifting sand. We finished the trip with a vastly improved understanding of the ecology of the Spit. This trip is highly recommended.
This tour proposed by Farewell Eco Tour is an excellent experience to live in Golden Bay! It's fun to be in the red bus, with an interesting guide who explains the dynamics of the area, takes us to a sand dune and the lighthouse, and shows us the animals. We also see the beautiful Cape Farewell. I just regret that we are not taken to Wharariki Beach. Definitely go for it!
History, wildlife, adventure..... Amazing ! Big thanks to our driver/guide
Great tour and very knowledge local guide. Must do for all NZers.
