Very relaxing, informative sail

Margaret_P, Nov 2024
Chilled amazing experience. We were lucky to have a sunny day and the boat was not busy. Our skipper Martin was very relaxed and provided a good tour and interesting information about the area. we saw seals. The hike back to our car was not too taxing (first 2km are steep) but the rest is lovely with some beautiful coves to visit for a swim. Great to go at your own pace with no time constraints. Would book again.

Fun sailing day in Abel Tasman! Great way to see more of the coast and get to Anchorage Bay for the hike back. More time onboard than the water taxi allowing for more views. Sailing was fun!
