Flying in an other country is challenging in more than one way. Brianna brought me a perfect view of the Golden Bay.
Totally awesome experience, pilot had lots of local knowledge. Beautiful scenery that you can only see from the air. An experience you will never forget.
Very glad we did this tour. The view was just amazing. We were lucky to have a beautiful weather with perfect condition. The pilot was very funny and friendly. We took a million of pictures. 30min is enough time to see everything you have to see.
I jumped today with Hamish! Absolutely amazing experience!
From getting checked in to jumping out ... I felt like I was in great hands. We had to switch my jump from 16.5k ot 13k - fine by me. It was my first jump and I am terrified of heights. My goal was to do it and overcome my fear, but to do that I needed to trust the team. And that I did. They were patient, attentive, fun, and helped me keep a level head ... until the door opened ... I am still thinking back to the drop and and man ... it was surreal but fantastic. So grateful to everyone there and to a once in a life experience. Thanks Y'all!
First time Skydiving, Phucken amazing. Loved every moment, was on a super high and feeling pumped as, had loads of energy from start 2 finish, was super xcited 2 be "JUMPING". Thanks so much 2 Dan and My Cameraman(4got his name) Use r da MANZ.... and Team 4 the amazing experience. BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER from mai KIDZ xxxx !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HOORAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unreal experience in a stunning location! Amazing team at Skydive Abel Tasman. Super safe, super accommodating and super fun! Stacey at reception was an absolute legend. My instructor "Scruffy" from Zimbabwe was awesome and showed me all the sites on the parachute down. Highly recommend it. Get out and do it!
I was bit nervous and scared about the jump given I’m afraid of heights. The staff were really supportive and explained everything. The owner even had a chat must of see I was nervous he has done around 17000 jumps in his time (wicked)! Dan the tandem guy was awesome we even did some flips and tricks. All the staff make you feel at ease. Such an awesome experience really, nothing like it. I upgraded to the 16500ft jump, if you’re going up you might as well do the highest jump it was well worth the extra cash. #skydiveabeltasman
A very professional and friendly team made our first parachute jump a fantastic experience. 13000ft hooked up safely with my experienced "buddy"and instructor they told me exactly what to expect. It was fabulous and I never felt anxious.
What an experience of a lifetime from checking in to the free fall it was all one smooth transition ✨️ my instructor Rob? was informative throughout the whole process, settled the nerves and made for an enjoyable jump 👊 shoutout to the camera 📷 man for capturing some great shots 👏
Probably one of the cheapest skydive packages in New Zealand. Video and photos were well taken. Thanks to the crews again! Thumbs up and I'm glad to tick it off my bucket list!
amazing experience, thanks to the staff
What an amazing day! Staff of Skydive Abel Tasman we're all so nice and professional :) I was so nervous at first but it all went away when I met the staff as they ensure you that you're in good hands! The views were absolutely breathtaking. The photo and video package was well worth every penny. Would love to jump with them again! Thank you!
Highly recommended to go and see the best of the best around the top of the South Island with Karin and her Tasman Tours. Clean and comfortable van/mini bus. Very gentle rides. Well explained local history and geography. The cafe in Takaka that Karin recommended offers the best bakeries/pies that you can't normally find in busy cities. Light to medium exercise level (only a couple of 20 minute walks). Overall, it was an unforgettable tour. I'll definitely recommend my friends and colleagues to join Karin's tours. Thanks Karin for making my Nelson trip much much better than I expected. Ta.
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.
I did the trip with my parents coming from China to visit me, it was very nice. The view is stunning and the route is very friendly to everyone. Our guide Michael is amazing, really enjoyed the day
Perfect way to explore Abel Tasman by foot and boat! Went during the off season and it was beautiful and the boat had more than enough room for the passengers!
My group did the kayak tour in the morning then went to anchorage in the afternoon. This was great, as the water was calm and after a mini hike to peak hill I got to chill on the beach in the afternoon. I was traveling solo, so I shared a kayak with the tour guide Alex, he was super friendly, very knowledgeable of the surrounding area and took over the paddling when I just wanted to be lazy. If you’re staying in nelson they offer free pick up and drop off coach to your accommodation which was also a deciding factor when I was booking the tour. The driver was SUPER friendly and again made me feel comfortable as a solo traveller. I would definitely recommend.
An exceptional experience from start to finish, our guide Ella was friendly & professional, she was safety conscious throughout and gave clear instructions on how to use the equipment which didn't take anything away from having a fun day on the water. The weather undoubtedly played its part & some stunning photos were captured.
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.
Great cruise Walk took us 90 minutes Loved Relaxing at bark bay
Even thought the weather wasn’t great (high winds on the coast) and we couldn’t do the entire journey to the north of the National park, it was still a nice journey on the modern boat. The staff helped explain everything really well and the commentary was good. The walks are very well signposted and not too demanding. We decided on the tour up to Tonga Quarry beach with the walk down to Medlands Beach. They allow ample time for you to walk between the drop off and pickup points (maybe a little too long if you don’t plan on having a dip). This route takes you high up into the forest following the sea along on your left. After a decent incline you begin to descend down into Bark Bay around 35mins after you begin the walk. Bark Bay is absolutely gorgeous with its water falls and swing bridge along the high tide path. You will also find basic toilets at the beginning and end of this route. It’s a good day out that we would highly recommend to anybody with the interest of walking a section of Abel Tasman without feeling rushed.
Amazing trip. If you only have one day to experience the Abel Tasman NP, this trip is for you. The walk was fairly easy with few uphill. If you are fit, you can finish it in an hour and have plenty of time on the beach. The Bark Bay was beautiful and not as busy as Totatranui. There was a waterfall too. Staff were lovely as well.
The cruise, the walk, especially relaxing on the beach, everything was great and enjoyable
Very friendly and informative guided tour. Cam took us to some beautiful spots. The kayak tour was at a good pace, equipments were in really good condition.
If you only have one day in the Abel Tasman National Park, then this is the perfect activity for you. You get a bit of everything: get up close to Split Apple Rock, a seal colony, information about the area, a cruise, a walk and a swim. The track was nice and easy. It took us around 1h40 to reach Bark Bay. The pick up point, Medlands beach, was only 500m away so we had loads of time to relax, eat some lunch and enjoy the scenery. Unfortunately, we weren't able to swim because the water was just too cold. But overall, it was very worth it!
Reputable company. Excellent day out. Would highly recommend.
Such a fun afternoon, our guide was amazing. Really great value experience.
First time ever do kayaking with my hubby, and we were so lucky to have such a wonderful day in Abel Tasman during Easter break after having stormy days in Auckland. The activity was wonderful, friendly guide, well-organized, relaxing for a newbie like myself .... although a bit surprise with how busy the area of Split Apple rock was that day, would be safer for everyone to arrange specific time for boats and kayaks to enter the area around the rock. Well done, Guys !!!
Absolutely brilliant day. we had one in our group who had never Kayaked before our leader was great and gave simple instructions . would go with them again! The boat trip from pick up to drop off was ace as well!!
Excellent experience right from the start to the end of the trip.
Starting with ease of planning and follow up, then to Jim the Captain who was outstanding, and then the amazing day out. Couldn't have asked for a better experience!!! We had the best day so a massive thank you!
Great experience if you’re short on time, everything was set up so you don’t get wet feet getting on and off the boat which was rather luxurious. Provided with a map, everything was very clear. The only thing that’s not obvious from the Bookme listing is that the boat leaves and returns from Kaiteriteri, that becomes clear in subsequent booking information. The time to complete the walk including Cleopatras pool was ample for us moderately fit people, we had an hour to kill while we waited for the boat so we went for a swim and enjoyed the beach at Anchorage.
We had an unlucky day for the trip as it was one of the uncommon rainy days in Nelson, however this did not ruin anything! Felt very lucky as we saw almost noone throughout the walk and felt like we had the place to ourselves. An informative guide in Murray on the boat up the tasman to drop off point and then a maximum if 5 hours in the park. Lots of side walks to do along the way and once we got picked up at the end of the day Murray even took us out to see some seals! A super fun day and would recommend
We spent a great day in the park!!!
I did kayak 2 days ago and it's awesome. It was winter season so only me and my friend did that half day kayak tour. Was kind if private tour! :) Sam and Sarah was our team guides and they were so nice! Always look after us and friendly explain the sites where we drop and sea ;) Definitely recommend it. It's safe to do in off season! We did not get in water. it's safe! :)
