Took the shuttle in partnership with Kaiteriteri Kayaks to spend a day on the water.
The water taxi was kind enough to detour on the way back in order for us to see Split Apple Rock.

Laid back style, but efficient.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff/crew. Loved the informality of only needing my first name!! Smashing guided tour from Kaiteriteri to Awaroa for the ambient experience. Well worth the money.

Great sightseeing on the boat in the National Park; then a really nice walk of about three hours, then picked up 15 further, all very well organised, with pickup in the morning from the i-Site.

Our online booking went wrong, but we got our tickets anyway.
A nice trip - but we would like more information from both the ticket office and the captain.

Beautiful trip along the National Park.
Good commentary from the captain. Although we were late he went slow so that the dolphins could join us and swim near the boat.

They do a nice guided tour along some seal colonies on the way there.

We paid for the 'Discovery Day'.
It started at 9.45am - boat tour to Totaranui with lots of explanation! Step off at Torrent Bay, walk 6-7km and then the boat back to Kaiteriteri! SUPER DAY!

Although it seemed pricey, the trip we did was good value for money, with a knowledgeable, friendly pickup driver who stopped on the way to the boat to tell us about the Motueka area and good informative
commentary on the boat. Well-organised and comfortable boats.

Very nice way to see Abel Tasman when you don't have time to walk the tracks.
We saw a lot of scenery and wildlife on our three hour ride. Plenty of time given for photo opportunities.

Discoverer Day; Disappointed with initial boat, no external seating, no hot drinks (can on survuve 9.15 to 11.30 am and no coffee!!!) Seating too low and exposed to spray.
The walk Medlands - Anchorage was excellent. Return boat 45 minutes, more comfortable and had COFFEE!!
