Tonga Quarry to Medlands
OMG - thank you! We enjoyed the commentary and boat ride out to Tōtaranui and then we got dropped off at Tonga Quarry and walked back to Medland Bay (only took 1 1/2 hr and I am not fit at all - a few steep parts but well worth the puffing) stopped into the toilet at Barker Bay (clean and flushing). We can’t wait to come back again and do a longer walk (actually disappointed I didn’t book the 4 hr hour walk). Can’t wait to come back next year!!

Beautiful!
Absolutely stunning scenery. Easy to book, excellent facilities, impeccable timing of trip drop off and pick up. Warm and friendly guides. Beautiful walk through the forest ... well worth every penny, can't rate it highly enough.

Tremendous
This is a must do for anyone wanting to see the whole Abel Tasman coast and can manage a bit of a walk. Definitely not for anyone with poor mobility as the 4.4km track walk is steep and sandy surface/stones. The boat is tip top condition, crew were great, weather wasn't the best, and even so we had a great value full day out.

Croisière + marche
À la réflexion croisière un peu longue... mais c'est ce que j'avais choisi... Marche qui se fait bien avec des enfants de 8 et 11 ans qui couraient devant! Chemin bien balisé
