Everything from the crew to the lunch were fantastic. The knowledge re: the region was lovely to hear. Emma and Flynn make a great team and made everyone comfortable! This is our second trip and would highly recommend

Rod Stuart and Kim were great hosts. Packed a lot of activities into the day. Went boating, kayaking to see fur seals, swimming and hiking. The swimming was cold! Bring sunscreen but if you forget, Rod will have you covered. I highly recommend this tour!

Emma gave us an amazing day on the water together! She is outstanding in all aspects of her work, ensuring a super fun and safe day enjoying the beauty of Abel Tasman. It goes by far too fast. We enjoyed the tasty lunch, and everything else you need to have a relaxing day exploring on sea and land is anticipated and provided. Towels, beverages, sunscreen, kayaks etc. Don't miss this outstanding experience....it's so good I would cancel other excursions to make a day for this day with THIS charter company.

Emma was a great skipper for the day! She was so friendly and knowledgable about the area. We had a small group of 8 on the boat and there was plenty of space to relax and enjoy the ride. They also provided a great spread of food for lunch that could accommodate different dietary restrictions. We did several stops along the coast and felt like we got to see the highlights of Abel Tasman in a day including a quick dip in the Tasman Sea, hiking, and a walk along the beach. The park itself is beautiful and I would highly recommend visiting.
