  Did a kayaking tour around Adele island and it was unreal. Our guide Andy white (whitey) was very knowledgeable and told us a lot of great stories. We saw seals, little blue penguins and dolphins on our way home. All in all it was an absolute brilliant experience. Worth every penny of our money.

  Had a super experience with Wilsons. Scenic boat tour to Abel Tasman with good instructions for a gorgeous walk to the pickup. Had an amazing day!

  Exuberante lugar. Si lo que quieres es hacer un Trekking sin mucho desnivel.

  Bus Company that got us there while making me run 1km and break my camera (and didn't get us back): 0 stars
  Wilson: 5 stars. They had a nice fast boat to get us place to place with an impressive telescoping ramp to let you board the boat from the beach without getting your feet wet.
  All the staff was super friendly and did their very best to help. In our case I had no clue how anything worked when I got on the boat, and they explained the different options to me, as well as let us change our itinerary by get off at an extra beach that wasn't part of our booked tour and staying 2h longer to get back on the last boat.
  Tim, our kayak guide, even helped us find people who were driving back to Nelson so that we could ride back with them (the last bus unfortunately leaves way too early). The sea was a bit rough that day but Tim stuck with us the whole time to keep my wife's spirits up and entertain us while I was paddling us against the wind to the next beach.
  The bus company they use unfortunately was bad. First their last bus leaves around 16:00, preventing you from taking the last boat back to enjoy Abel Tasman 2h longer. There should really be a bus at 18:00, it's a long way to travel to only stay there for 4H-ish when you count the boat and the bus. Second, the bus driver was horrible. Right after getting in, I realized I forgot my jacket in the room. We were around the street 2mn away but he didn't want to go back. He let me out where he stopped to pick someone up and I had to run to the hotel around the corner just to realize that his plan was to drive off without me (with my belongings and wife in the bus). He knew I didn't know he was going to the bus depot, or where the bus depot was, but he left anyway instead of waiting 2mn for me or meeting me in front of our hotel. I had to call to find out where he was (good thing I had a cell phone and google maps to find the address of the bus depot) and run more than 1km to the bus depot, which caused my camera to fall from my pocket and get severely damaged.
  Worst thing, the driver admitted later the same thing happened to him the previous day and he spent a while driving around town looking for a lady he had also ditched and who had no clue where to find him. I'm glad he learned absolutely nothing from the experience and did the exact thing to me.
  Wilson, please dump this bus company and offer a later bus ride back. They were as bad as you were fantastic.
