We had a wonderful time on Wilsons' "Great Day Out" cruise / walk combo in Abel Tasman National…read morePark. The views were wonderful and the service was great. We began our journey at 9:20am by taking a water taxi from Kaiteriteri to Anchorage for 30 minutes (this was because the main boat was at capacity for the first leg) - it was a great experience. We loved the small boat ride - it was nice to have wind blowing against our faces as we sped along the water and took in the lovely views. Split Apple Rock was a highlight. We then transferred to the big white Wilsons boat at Anchorage and sat in the open air rooftop deck to take in the views. The seal colony was neat to see. We took the boat all the way to Totaranui and then got dropped off at Tonga Quarry a little before noon for our two hour hike to Medlands Beach. Our hike was quite pleasant - there were a few steep uphill portions (especially at the beginning), but for the most part, the ground was either level or gently downhill. The scenery was beautiful - a mix of coastal views and forest. We ate our lunch (which we brought with us) at Medlands Beach and had chosen the 3:00pm boat pick up. We felt one hour at this small beach was just right for us. Our boat ride back to Kaiteriteri was pleasant and we sat downstairs in the enclosed area and enjoyed coffees while checking out the views one last time. Tips: (1) When booking, ask for a senior discount and prepay discount, as applicable to you (2) Bring and apply sunscreen and insect repellent (3) Your feet may get wet, so hiking sandals or other shoes that can easily come on and off are a good idea (4) Bring a sheet or beach towel to sit on at Medlands Beach after your hike Overall, a great experience!

Wilson was one of the three Abel Tasman operators we tried in Kaiteriteri and were happy with their…read moreservice. A wide of option of departure and pick up boats. Staff is very helpful with figuring out the routes for you but it's really very straight forward. You can figure it out yourself based on the timetable of their boats. Apart from that, there were no major differences between all three boat/kayak operators. Wilson was running the latest a boat, which worked out great for us. Coming back to Kaiteriteri at 6 pm seemed like the best option as you get a good 5-7 hours in the park during the day. They also have a little cafe on the boat so you can get tea, coffee, basic morning snakes and alcoholic drinks on the boat.

This is easily one of the top 3 hostels i've ever stayed in!…read more Location: 5-7 min walk from InterCity buses, close to shops and restaurants/bars, and right across the street from Cathedral Hill. Amenities: Rooms and bathrooms/showers are very clean, washer and dryer available, blow dryer and hair straightener, towels and laundry powder available at reception.

A man named Glenn is the sweetest guy and was very helpful at check-in when my air bnb's reservation didn't work out last minute. If you're staying in Nelson, I'd highly recommend InnBetween! They also will store your luggage if you plan on going off into the parks etc.
