    This was the absolute best experience and one of our favorite things we did in all of New Zealand, hands down. Rod was an absolute gem of a human. The lunch he prepared for us was delicious and the small details didn’t go unnoticed, down to the incredible fresh bread from the bakery. He was full of so many interesting facts and tidbits about Abel Tasman - it was fascinating to learn about this beautiful region from a local. Our favorite part was the ride we took into a smaller inlet on his smaller dinghy. It was absolutely magical! I can’t recommend this experience highly enough!!!

    We had an amazing day - captain Tim was fabulous. We were two Canadians travelling with six New Zealanders - all of whom had been out on the water many times. One was a former guide in the park. My husband and I were in awe but the bigger complement was that our locals friends thought the day was amazing! Seals, kayaks, swimming and a beautiful lunch! Thank you so much - I would do this again in a heartbeat! Worth every penny. Thank you tim for a great day!!!

    We don’t have enough good things to say about this experience and our captains Emma and Kim. They were super sweet and attentive and the boat was very nice. It was educational and the scenic views were something else. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. GO GO GO.
