Abel Tasman Eco Tours

What an incredible experience we had on Sunday the 25th, honestly a day on a boat couldnt get any better, I have the Abel Tasman on my door step and have never seen it this way before. Justin the skipper so full of knowledge of the area and the history. Such a fresh friendly attitude and you could tell he loves his job.The trip it's self was amazing I loved every aspect and greatful that we got a an incredible experience just for the 2 of us.We originally organized the trip for earlier in the week but pushed it out due to weather and Mel was incredible in communication and arranging this.Loved all the stops along the way and the yummy morning tea treats and lunch.Definitely recommend the team at Abel Tasman Eco Tours and the tour itself.I want to bring my kids now

The best guided tour I've ever been on! My wife and I booked this tour a few months ago and were surprised to be the only 2 people on the tour for the day. We met Justin at the carpark and he was super chill and friendly from the beginning. He was working by himself that day so had to go above and beyond to make the tour go smoothly. The areas we explored were BREATHTAKINGLY beautiful! He showed us some secluded spots and gave great info about the history of the area and the plant and wildlife. Justin also brought us tea, cookies and a packed lunch. Everything about the tour was great. The boat was a lil bit old and could probably be replaced but Justin was the absolute best guide I'd ever met. He has a passion for his job and a wealth of knowledge of the area. If I ran a tour company I'd want every employee to be as, friendly, knowledgeable, dedicated and hard working as he is. Thanks again Justin!

We had a great day out on the Abel Tasman. It was just my husband and I on the boat with Justin, the amazing tour guide. Justin had great knowledge of the area and was very passionate about sharing all of the stories and history of the area. The morning tea and lunch was delicious and very generous. Even though it was a wet day, it was such an amazing day.

Fantastic Day! Educational, fun and a one off experience to see the Abel Tasman from the sea! Sealife/birdlife was amazing to view and our guide Justin was very knowledgeable!

Great tour with Justin, an excellent guide , it’s 6 hours on the water but really cool.Morning tea and lunch laid on, visit beautiful bays and scenery and a swim in the ocean.Highly recommended.

Our tour with Justin was excellent, educational, exciting, and a highlight of our month of touring in New Zealand. Abel Tasman really requires a boat experience to see even a fraction of the wonderful park. The Eco Tour gives so much more than any other boating option. For us the flexibility of our itinerary allowed Justin to take us for a long romp with a school of bottlenose dolphins that was simply breathtaking. Other tour boats missed the same opportunity because of their large-sized boats and strict schedules. Along with all the view of wildlife and exploration the shore areas, we learned about the history, ecology, geology, and controversies that are native to Abel Tasman. Our environmental backgrounds made this all even more interesting. And, of course, having a delicious tea break and lunch on shore were delightful bonuses. Thank you so much for providing the perfect way to explore Abel Tasman National Park!

We’ve visited the Abel Tasman too many times to count over the years, but have learnt more on the eco tour than ever before. It was a fantastic day out, we enjoyed seeing incredible wild life including dusky dolphins, and Justin the Guide was so knowledgeable with some great stories about the history, the environment and sustainability in the park and region. Highly recommend, loved it, thanks team!

Our family had a fantastic time out with Heather and Justin today! 6 hours flew by and there was something new and beautiful to see around every turn. Both Justin and Heather were great at answering everyone's questions and found some incredible wildlife for us to see (fur seals, little blue penguins, stingray, a variety of birds, etc). Well worth the cost for such a personalized experience. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Abel Tasman.

Great day! Justin and Heather were great tour guides. Justin knows so much about the park and the area. Having 8-10 of us on the boat meant enough space for everyone. Saw a large group of dolphins feeding, breeding and leaping out of the water. Also saw a few fur seals and the beaches were stunning. The most beautiful aquamarine colors and great water clarity! Morning tea/snacks and lunch at the picnic tables on the beach were tasty and kept us full! Thanks again Justin and Heather! Couldn’t have asked for a more lovely day!

We had a great day in Abel Tasman National Park today. As a family of 4, 2 adults and 2 kids, we were lucky to have Justin as our skipper and tour guide. We are so impressed by his knowledge and passion about the local environment, plants and animals. Kids had great fun and learned a lot along the trip. We really enjoyed the tour and it's much appreciated. Highly recommended to anyone paying s visit to the region.
