une très belle expérience

Un endroit de rêve que nous avons découvert sous un soleil radieux, ce qui aide à l'apprécier. Un décor paradisiaque. Une balade très belle. Des otaries sur les rochers et une bonne baignade. Super journée.

Très bien

Magnifique excursion pour voir l'ensemble de la côte de l'Abel Tasman Park. La balade de 2h est juste magnifique avec ponts, cascades, plages . juste splendide ! Et assez de temps pour s'arrêter et contempler Bark Bay qui est a seulement 10min de Medland beach. Equipe très pro et sympathique.

Bonne activité

Bonne balade en mer et très bonne alternative au kayak, notamment par temps maussade et gris. On a été jusqu’au bout de la baie de Tasman ce qui offre un très beau panorama. Le bateau est revenu ensuite pour nous déposer à l’arrêt de Tonga. De là, nous avons fait une petite randonnée de 1h30. Bonne balade et bons souvenirs

Croisière rando à pieds

Très bien. Les temps donnés pour faire la randonnée est largement suffisant. Attention le bateau taxi est très en avance par rapport aux heures de passage donné. (14h50 pour 15h10). La rando passe dans une forêt luxuriante il y a beaucoup d'oiseaux. Pas de difficultés particulières faisable avec des enfants.

Seuls au monde

Nous avons failli manquer le bateau au retour car nous n étions pas sur la bonne plage,mais sur celle d à côté. Il serait utile de veiller à ce que les passagers non anglophones aient bien compris ce genre d information.
