We were limited on time in Abel Tasman. I wanted to walk but my husband did not want to walk the four hours. So we opted for the Abel Tasman Sea shuttle to see the coastline. We went up to Bark's Bay and then back to Kaiteriteri. We saw seals on our trip. If I had time I would have... More

We decided to go on the Sea shuttle as recommended to us by our hotel. We were not disappointed. The shuttle leaves from Kaiteriteri and travels to Totaranui up the coastline and into numerous inlets and bays along the way. The scenery was spectacular and well worth the time spent on board as the shuttle picks up and drops off... More

These guys are awesome. Fast, efficient, organised and knowledgable. We couldn't fault the service. the boats are not glamorous but brilliantly practical, fast and functional and the crew are really helpful. Highly recommend the day trip to Bark Bay and the day walk back to Anchorage. great way to experience the National park on a limited time frame. More

I only had one day in the Nelson area, but was told about this sea shuttle that takes you to the best parts of the park. I did the "Discovery" tour. The first part is by boat. Our guide showed us some wildlife (fur seals, comorant), pointed out the highlights of the scenery, and told us the history of Abel... More
