5.00Great crusie and get on off for walks if you want to... make sure you go on good day sea quite choppy during our day but still worth it
This isn't an informative cruise, it's a water taxi

1.00The vendor's description of this "excursion" on Viator is egregiously misleading. This isn't a nature cruise with live narration. It is quite literally a water taxi that shuttles hikers to different parts of the park. Neither was there any "live" commentary. There were a handful of recordings, but they were barely audible because the speakers were in such disrepair. Sad waste of time.
Abel Tasman National Park is always beautiful.

4.00After endless sunny days, the day we went was cloudy and a little cooler. This did not in any way destroy our day. The trip along Abel Tasman National Park Coast was so beautiful. I have done many trips along the coast and into the park and it never disappoints.
