Brilliant tour with super knowledgable guides. The staff were all so friendly, the tour was well organised and never felt rushed. Special thanks to the staff who found our lost camera and posted it on down to our next stop for us!
We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great experience and felt well looked after by the team. It’s wonderful to know the tour felt relaxed and well organised, and we’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to the guides and staff. We’re especially glad we could help reunite you with your lost camera! Thanks for choosing us. Thanks again for joining us,
Really nice experience, kayaking and seals view! Also amazing lunch, everything perfect! 5 hours of activity and time flies!
We’re really glad you had such a great experience kayaking and that the time on the water flew by - that’s always a good sign of a great day adventure! Thanks for the review and coming out with us Andrea.
We had a great half day kayak tour out at Abel Tasman! Ed was a superb guide who did a great job spotting seals and sea life while we were out on the ocean. Lunch was delicious. The company also did a great job of accomodating my spouse's neoprene allergy. Book with confidence - you will enjoy it immensely!
Thanks for the review Richard, and the mention of dealing with allergies. Customer safety is always a priority and we can generally deal with most allergies with a little bit of warning. We are pleased you had a great day out.
Enjoyed the part of the tour that followed the Abel Tasman shore. It rained very hard during the excursion and though the guides worked hard to cope, it seemed they were not well prepared with shelter for the lunch stop. The sandwiches were not of good quality. The boat took very long to pick us up and we didn't get back to change into dry clothes until 2 hours later.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We fully acknowledge that the weather during this trip has made it difficult for you to fully enjoy the experience, and we sincerely regret that this has occurred. We appreciate your patience and understanding during the unexpected heavy rain. Our guides worked hard to make the journey enjoyable despite the weather, and we’re pleased to hear you noticed their efforts. We understand that it can be very challenging to provide a comfortable experience in such heavy rainfall, and we regret that the lunch stop and pickup time didn't meet your expectations. Regarding the water taxi, we know that waiting in wet conditions can be frustrating. On days with rough weather, sea conditions can slow down water taxi movements, making the timing more complex. However, our boats do follow a set schedule, and on that day, everything operated as planned. Thank you also for your feedback on the sandwiches. Until now, we have been using a third-party provider for our lunches. Starting this week, we’re back to preparing and providing our own lunches for our guests. We’d love to welcome you back for another kayak adventure—hopefully on a sunnier day! If you have the flexibility to come back in our direction, we can give you a kayaking experience free of charge. Thank you once again for sharing your thoughts and helping us improve.
This was an absolutely amazing experience! Would do it again in a heartbeat! The service we received was excellent and all the staff were wonderfully welcoming. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed both the hike and the kayaking and could not decide which of the many highlights of this day, was our favorite. The scenery is just gorgeous! I can highly recommend Abel Tasman Kayaks. Thank you, Jack and Mitchell, for making this a truly unforgettable day.
Thanks for the feedback, we agree it is hard to pick a favourite kayaking or walking, we are glad you and your family got to enjoy both.
Weather forecast not good for Thursday, so changed kayaking to Wednesday; great experience; our guide, Whitney, was calm, patient and informative; all went smoothly and was well organized; lunch was a delicious vegetarian sandwich, apple, brownie and hot coffee; we saw fur seals and a variety of birds; we had some small waves and some flat water - nice variety; we wore spray skirts and life jackets; there were hot showers available upon our return
We loved the kayaking and the guide was great! The only thing which was not mentioned when we booked and we did not realize until after kayaking was we Would need to trek back to the start! The tour description stated we start and end at the same location. This would not have been a big deal since we are both runners however my husband wore only water shoes and we were told those would be fine. Not so… it took us 3 hours to get back! You definitely need to add this to the description! This would have e been perfect if we would have had any warning.
Hi Rachael, Firstly big apologies. I'd be a bit miffed as well if I had to walk 3 hours when I was expecting a 15 minute boat ride. We have talked with your kayak guide and boat driver after reading this review, and it has everyone a little puzzled. Our conclusion is that two other guests from your tour must have climbed onto the water taxi taking your places for the return trip. You were definitely booked on for the boat transfer, and your seats were taken..... so there was clearly a miscommunication somewhere in there. I wish you would have popped in and talked with the team when you returned as we would certainly have remedied the situation as best we could, and reimbursed you for the missed boat ride. Feel free to get back in contact with us. Sincerely, Jack
Great half day kayak trip with Georgia and Brody! Lots of good info about the area from them both. It was a bit rainy when we started, but ended up being a really beautiful day complete with seals and a killer beach. Would recommend.
Thanks Lauren, the beaches on the Seal Sanctuary are pretty special - even in the rain!
Would 100% recommend the seal sanctory tour. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and made sure that we enjoyed our day. We had plenty of time to get photos and have breaks. The lunch provided was super delicious! Everyone I dealt with was really helpful and friendly.
Thanks for the feedback and the 100%. We are pleased you had a great time with us.
Well organised and friendly company with good equipment and attention to safety. We really enjoyed the water taxi ride up to a beach along the Abel Tasman track for lunch , followed by a unhurried kayak over to Adele island to visit the seal colony and then a kayak back to base.
Thanks Des, the Seal Sanctruay tour offers a bit of everything, glad you had a great day out.
