Es war ein regnerischer Tag, also entschieden wir uns für einen 1/2 Tag See-Shuttle und es war fantastisch. Unsere Führer waren so schön und einladend. Sie fanden einen riesigen Pod von Delfinen, die wir für etwa eine Stunde hängen. Es war wirklich erschwinglich auch, definitiv empfehlen.

Wir mochten den Service sehr! Aufmerksames Personal, das Informationen über den Ort und die Tiere gab. Wir konnten Siegel und blaue Pinguine sehen!

Großer Service. Wir mussten unsere Pläne in letzter Minute ändern und es kürzer machen wegen Babyfieber und sie waren sehr hilfreich.

We did the five beaches walk taking the boat directly to awaroa in the morning. It took us a little over 2 hours to complete the track. We walked fast but no running and took pictures on the way. The hike was marked as "demanding" but it only was a small portion of the track that was quite steep. Even that was an Ok gravel road. The park itself is spectacular. Really recommend visiting.

Today we did the Kayak, Seals & Cruise tour. I quickly booked it yesterday at the counter, which was open until 6pm. Good for us due to the long route from Wellington by ferry and then also to Kaiteriteri. The tour is recommendable, also for kayak-newbies like us. They explain everything, the kayaks (for two) are steady in the water and we felt safe, too. There is an extra storage compartment for backpacks in the kayak. They give you special drybags for your dry things. The equipment is in good condition. Recommended clothing: Below bathing clothes, after an hour of paddling it's possible to find a little puddle in your seat. For the upper body something that can get wet and dries fast. Some sort of functional wear, synthetic. Maybe some change for after the kayaking. Kayaking takes up the entire morning, after midday a ferry with guide drives past the seals and explains the park attractions and story, e.g. Split Apple Rock. After that they give you 2 hours of time at the beach of Anchorage where you can wander around or simply enjoy the beach. Both is great! After that the ferry brings you back and around 5pm you're back. Very good tour. Would do it again. There are also other offers. Best plan it ahead three, four days before, do what you like best considering the weather.

Es war sehr schön zu sehen, dass auch an einem Tag war es möglich, diesen Park wirklich zu genießen. Der Gentleman am Schreibtisch war freundlich und gab tolle Empfehlungen. Der Preis ist es wert. Wir verließen in Booten vom Strand und sahen mehrere Strände und Seelöwen. Dann fiel uns das Boot zu Beginn eines Spaziergangs 10km (3 Stunden zu Fuß nonstop für uns).Der Spaziergang war magisch in der Mitte des Waldes und der Strände.

A really great way to see Abel Tasman and some of the little bays along the park. A professional outfit that goes out of their way to make sure you get the experience you are desiring. Excellent commentary during the boat trips as well. And the onboard food was pretty good too!
