Reviews of Abel Tasman Canyons

D. G.

Did this over New Years and had the BEST time. You have a part of the Abel Tasman park completely to yourself and see a part of it that no one else gets to. It’s beautiful, it’s fun, and we had a blast. Oscar and Dan were great hosts, reading the abilities of the group and balancing safety and adventure perfectly. We did it by meeting the guys at Anchorage Bay halfway through our walk. Great value for money and highly recommend!

J. S.

Awesome experience with so many surprises around each corner. Great adventure for the family shared. Expert leadership and instructions given with a great mix of activities down the canyon. Highly recommended 👌

H. H.

We had an amazing time at Abel Tasman Canyons with Elliot and Oscar. The whole day was so action packed with such incredible experiences of sliding down waterfalls, ziplining and abseiling rocks. Despite being nervous and a little hesitant, I was able to do all the activities and felt very safe. Definitely recommend this activity and you get more than your money's worth. One of the best adventures we've had.

C. p.

We had the best day ever! The guides were super supportive and lots of fun. They made us feel totally safe but still challenged - a cracking adventure, recommended to all!

C. F.

We decided to take our team canyoning for our end of year function and we absolutely loved it! From start to finish the team at Abel Tasman Canyons have the trip covered. It is such a fun team building activity that all ages will love. I highly recommend!

S. B.

We had a fantastic day canyoning. We were a group of 4 and had Oscar guiding us. He was excellent. Highly recommend.

M. N.

This is one of the best outdoor trips I have ever done! It's all about nature, adventure and fun. Timings were perfect and guides Toine & Elliot were a great leaders. Thanks for all!

T. C.

Easily one of the highlights of my 2-month trip around Australia and New Zealand! Did so much more than I anticipated, had a fantastic time, and enjoyed learning about the area and chatting with our excellent guides Oscar and Celine. They went above and beyond to make this experience the best it could be. Would 100% do this again if I'm back in the Abel Tasman area!!

A. T.

What a flipping amazing time! We took 13 plumbers and admin staff along for a day of canyoning for our end of year work do. Such a cool thing to do with our team. Everybody loved it; great for the adrenaline junkies, and for those of us who were scared or nervous, our guides Mark, Sam and Zeb were very experienced and made us feel safe. We've all been into the Abel Tasman before, being local, but this was really cool way to see a different side of the park. Would highly recommend. Thanks for the awesome day out guys!

A. K.

My wife and I did the 'Torrent River' Canyoning trip and had an amazing time. I'm always concerned these types of adventures will be too tame, however, the Torrent River did not disappoint. The abseils, jumps, ziplines and slides were all awesome. The team (Ricky, Pete and Toine) were fantastic and made the experience a ton of fun while remaining professional - safety was clearly a top priority and we felt comfortable in their hands. Communication leading up to the day was also clear and prompt which was very much appreciated. A storm was heading for Abel Tasman and the team made sure we were updated as to the status of our trip. We would highly recommend Abel Tasman Canyons!

S.

Awesome trip. Can't rate highly enough. A great day out in one of the most scenic parts of the country. Slides, jumps, abseiling and ziplining - this trip had it all - an enourmous amount of fun.

M. R.

Amazing day out.... Really shows another side of Abrl Tasman and guide was fun, safeand informative

L.

Thank you for an absolutely awesome trip! Despite initial worries, everyone had an amazing time. Thank you for taking the time to talk us through the day beforehand so we could reassure one or two family members. As it turned out everyone did extremely well and ended the day feeling they had been challenged and had an awesome adventure. Oscar and Jeremiah were first-class guides, and made us feel very relaxed, whilst keeping a keen eye on safety. It was an amazing day! Thank you. And thank you for the photos, what a fantastic bonus!

K. H.

Highly recommend, great way to see a different part of the park that you wouldnt normally see. We went out on the Torrent River experience with Oscar and Jeremiah who both made the experience really fun. Both my partner and I loved it and would do it again. When going out you can push yourself or avoid some obstacles if they're not for you (I avoided some of the jumps!)

C. H.

We had an incredible day canyoning with Toine and Josh! It was an absolutely exhilarating experience - so much fun!! If you like an adventure, this is a unique and thrilling way to see a breathtaking part of the Abel Tasman National Park that not many other visitors have the opportunity to see. Would highly recommend!! Thanks guys!

D. a. A. R.

Abel Tasman Canyoning There are no words to describe how incredible this experience was! The whole day was full of breathtakingly beautiful scenery, and the guides were super lovely, fun and engaging. We were pushed well outside the limits of our comfort zone, but never felt unsafe or in any danger. When we got out at the end of the trip we could not stop smiling from ear to ear. I cannot recommend this enough!!!

I.

This was so much fun! Can't recommend this more highly. Not only do you get to see a part of the National Park that you would never normally see but you get to slide, climb, jump, abseil, zip-line and swim all in one day. Super safe in Zeb and Oscar's capable hands. It is hard work but so worth the effort. Thanks team for an awesome day!

D. M.

This was an epic way to make the most of the little time I had in Abel Tasman. Stunning scenery and Oscar was fantastic at keeping us safe, guiding us through everything we did and having a laugh all together! This was my first time canyoning and hopefully it won't be the last - I need more jumps and drops and slides and freezing cold water!

C. G.

If you’re looking for an adventure look no further, Abel Tasman Canyons has it all - scenery, aqua taxi, hiking, adrenaline, insider knowledge and history and exploring what New Zealand has to offer. For an all day tour that includes photos and meals, it’s honestly a great value for the price. It was a real pleasure throughout the first booking contact to the final farewells (and all the laughs in between). Chris and Mark were an absolute hoot - they more like friends than guides and definitely felt like we were in good hands the whole time. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to get the most out of their Abel Tasman stay.

D. G.

We did our Tour with Seb and Oscar and they really did a great job, showing a great background knowledge about the nature and the history of the national park, beeing totally funny the whole tour and had such a decent humor. 😄 We had one of our best days in New Zealand, still laughing about our funny videos and pictures, and this tour really stands out compared to other experiences. Thank you for that wonderful day. If we come back to New Zealand, we will definitely book ahead!

I. A.

It was an amazing experience. Our guides Oscar and Toine were very professional and patient. We felt very safe the whole time. The landscapes were spectacular. Definitely recommended!!

M. P.

We spent the past 2 weeks in New Zealand for our honeymoon and our canyoning experience was one of our favorite adventures of the trip. Neither of us had previous experience canyoning, but we felt like we were in good hands with our guides Oscar and Zeb. They made the trip fun and made everyone in the group feel comfortable despite a variety of skill levels.

M.

Amazing customer service, awesum experience and just an amazing experience! I was terrified of heights and there were options for me which was awesome. I highly recommend these guys for your next canyoning tour! The guides were pretty amazing too, thanks Oscar and Jeremaiah, u guys rock!😁

L. E.

We had a fantastic tour with Chris and Oscar. This was definitely a new adventure with a huge thrill factor. Chris did an amazing job running the tour and convincing us that jumping off an 8m cliff was no big deal. I would definitely recommend this to any thrill seekers in good physical condition. Thank you Chris and Oscar for such an amazing time!

C. P.

My sister and I did the Torrent River trip with the lovely guides Oscar and Mark. Enjoyed a nice cruise on the Aqua taxi to the beautiful beach of Anchorage, then did a hike up to the top of the canyon and had some lunch before we started- they took my sister and I's fussy dietary requirements seriously and made sure we were catered for which was appreciated. We then put on our equipment and had a wonderful time jumping off rocks, sliding down rockslides and cannonballing off waterfalls! I loved the ziplines, so much fun! Managed to do a lot of things I didn't think I'd be able to, so enjoyed pushing my comfort zones, the guides were great and made us feel safe at all times! Was a privilege to see such a beautiful untouched part of paradise where others can't go unless on this trip! Awesome adrenaline buzz with a fun group and amazing guides with some good banter! Love how you could get free photo memories of your adventure as well, they were up on dropbox just a couple of hours later! Thanks so much Abel Tasman Canyoning, I faced the fear and loved it and now my daughter is amping to do it so i'm sure we will be back next year, and will highly recommend to others to do this!

J. M.

This was by far the most amazing thing that we did on our entire trip to New Zealand. Waterfall Canyon was just breathtaking. You lose count how of how much abseiling you've done and the slides are like nothing we'd ever experienced. Our guides were absolutely wonderful. As a bonus: They took amazing photos which were included in the price of the trip (the way photos should be) and they kept us REALLY well fed. I can't say enough great things about these guys!

J. P.

Amazing experience! The canyon was beautiful and it's so special seeing the scenery your average person in the park doesn't get to. The guides were a lot of fun as well as very knowledgeable about the park and canyoning so we felt comfortable to both challenge ourselves and relax. Recommend to anyone with a basic fitness level, it's a day you won't forget for a while! A must do 😊 thanks guys!

D. H.

Awesome trip down the Torrent River. Got to abseil, jump waterfalls, zip line, plunge backwards down a rapid (with my eyes closed), bomb drop a water fall.... and.... and the guides were amazing. A special thanks to Chris, who was an amazing guide. Kept us all safe, but pushed us outside of our comfort zone, in the most delightful way.

My fiance and I initially signed up for Blue Creek Canyoning that doesn't require swimming, but because there is a minimum of three people for that particular tour, and we were the only ones signed up at the time, they suggested that we try out the Torrent River canyons. My fiance doesn't know how to swim and I am a weak swimmer, so I was a bit hesitant about going. We decided to go for it after Camille, one of the staff that reached out to us before our trip, explained that we would be able to wear life vests, and as long as we don't panic in the water, the guides would be able to pull my fiance towards land. We were so glad we did, because it was the highlight of our trip. Canyoning down torrent river with Mark and Jake was an amazing and exhilarating experience. And we never felt like we were remotely close to danger! If we come back to Abel Tasman, we'd definitely sign up for another amazing adventure with Abel Tasman Canyons in a heartbeat (preferably with better swimming skills)!

S.

One of the best experiences in New Zealand! Went on the Torrent River Canyoning trip - it's a must-do if you want adventure, beautiful scenery, expert guides and to get off the tourist trail in Abel Tasman. I couldn't stop smiling - definitely worth it!

N. A.

We had Oscar and Toine and they were such a lovely and well trained people. Even when some of us were so anxious they knew how to control the situation. I like how they were smiling and calm the whole day. Best wishes guys

K. T.

Had the best time! Our guide Juri was super knowledgeable about the Abel Tasman area, very fun and kind. I loved that there were different options in difficulty. As an inexperienced canyoner I would highly recommend (I did the Torrent river). If you are not sure whether to book it, just do it! I have no regrets. I want to do another one!

S. J.

I had Mark & Yuri as my guides for Canyoning in Abel Tasman. They were both very professional, patient and helpful. I have a minor medical issue, and they were able to adapt the activities to allow me to get the most out of it. It was so fun with underlying terror for me, haha. They had me laughing through the whole day of hiking, sliding, abseiling and jumping off rocks. Thanks so much for a great day! :)

S. N.

Excellent day canyoning in a fun and challenging trip! Both instructors were very knowledgeable and kept us safe the whole way round! Lunch and snacks were also good! Thanks Juri and Mark, would highly recommend!!

P. F.

We had an awesome adventure with Toine and his crew in Abel Tasman at Waterfall Creek. They were extremely efficient and clearly knowledgeable in their craft. Our group of 5 all walked away feeling stoked. I would definitely recommend booking with Abel Tasman Canyons and could only give positive feedback with regards to our trip and the administrative side as well. Thanks again guys!!!

T. K.

It was just amazing. We were in a group of 3 people plus Oscar (our Guide). He picked us up from Motueka. After the boat taxi we did a hike for like 1.5 hours through the national park. Oscar was a great guide. He told us some stories about the abel tasman national park and his knowledge about all the plants and trees is amazing. Canyioning was full of jumps, abseiling, sliding and walks. The nature through the canyonig is just breathtaking. Thanks a lot Oscar!! We loved it! And by the way, you get free pictures and videos ;) Cheers Kira and Luke

C. L.

Absolutely incredible world class experience. Thank you to Adrien and Zeb for being so patient, kind and encouraging. This is a nz must do for sure and a fab way to concour fears as there's only one way out. Awesome day out and highly recommend Abel Tasman Canyoning to anyone! I did the torrent river option and reckon I would do it again.

B. H.

“Team Majestical, saving fish and looking Delish” I’ve spent 16 days on the South Island and this activity easily falls within the top 3 things I’ve done (quite possibly number 1). Juri and Mark (guides) we’re both phenomenal at what they do, and kept the entire adventure fresh, funny, educational, and fun! I’ve done canyoning before and this adventure made those feel like a joke when compared. 10/10 would pay to do this again if I ever came back.

N. W.

Our amazing guides Tuan and Mark gave us an incredible day of activities, expertly throwing us off waterfalls and pushing us down zip lines. This is truly a one-of-a-kind experience, and is absolutely worth every penny.

A. R.

Awesome trip!! Oscar and Orinoco were fab guides :)

m. s.

Juri and Jake were fantastic guides and we had an amazing time on the Torrent river with our group. It was so fun, we would do it again in a heartbeat. Definitely a highlight of our trip!

S. B.

This is by the the best adventure tour you'll have in New Zealand. The staff is outstanding and the canyoning is breathtaking. So much fun. If your budget only allows for one trip during your stay, make sure this is the one you go for.

B. K.

This is such a fun way to experience the NZ wilderness from a different perspective. It's challenging, but rewarding. We did the Torrent River trip and loved it! The water was FREEZING, but the guides kept us going with warm drinks, food, and enthusiasm.

B. D.

if you have just one day to experience the Abel Tasman National Park, then taking a tour with these guys is the absolute way to do it. Sip-lining down those magnificent streams, abseiling waterfalls and sliding down river contours in the middle of an untouched wild forrest is breathtaking and unforgettable. Oscar took all my fear with a few simple words and gave me the feeling I really could trust him so I was able to jump the highest jump of my life today. I will always remember this day and I am stunned of their professionally, their passion and their empathy. Only because of them, I can sit here now and be real proud of myself. I will always remember today! Thank you, Abel Tasman Canyons. You guys rock!!!

I am a 32 year old who never exercises or practice any kind of sports at all (especially extreme ones). I just went yesterday to the canyoning at Abel Tasman park, and just loved it. It was tough, but it was really worth. You get a lot for what you pay. The guides (pete and hadrian) were very friendly and supportive, and we did daring activities that I never thought I would be able to do. They even entertain us doing some crazy moves that the cirque du soleil wouldn't dare to repeat. I was in a group of 6 (all of them more experienced than I), but the leaders were very patient and supportive, so I could do the rappel, zipline, jumps without slowing down the rest of the group (if you are scared, they always offer you a easier, but less exciting alternative). This is an activity that I would recommend for most people (you need to know how to swim, so the water doesn't come trough your nose, and you need to listen to what they say, because those guys are pros) that I know. The water might be cold, but the wetsuits they provide are more than enough to endure it.

J.

Canyoning with Abel Tasman Canyons is an activity which you will remember your whole life; It's a wonderfull combination of fun, excitement and an amazing scenery, which normally stays hidden for the public. We went on the Torrent River trip with guides Toine en Lee. Torrent River is a canyoning trip which has it all. With some help of Toine & Lee we were able to do all the slides, jumps, ziplines etc. Besides the amazing scenery and the professional guides, the trip had a aquataxi ride,as well, and the lunch was very well prepared. Thanks guys for the highlight of our NZ holiday.

H.

Awesome Trip with Toine, Zeb, Josh and Jay, fun & professional guides. Our group had a real blast. - would do it again!! Cheers guys!!

M. D.

I highly recommend to anyone visiting the Abel Tasman area. It's an all day experience and is so much fun. The guides make sure you're taken care of every step of the way. Photos are taken during the activity and are sent to you via Dropbox soon after. Mark and Stan are professionals who absolutely knew what they are doing and have so much fun doing it. Activity on Feb 16, 2019.

Such an amazing experience with Zeb and Oscar! I would totally recommend this adventure to anyone traveling to New Zealand. A great value and awesome memories.

It was an amazing experience. Can't thank Oscar and Josh enough. I would recommend anyone to give it a go at least once. You won't regret it!
