      Great trip to local wineries
      We had a great time. Karin was both informative and an easy to get on with guide. Picked us up on time and was keen to check on what we wanted to get out of the tour.we visited 4 vineyards and had a great tasting experience. We would recommend this trip to anyone wanting to experience the Nelson area vineyards.

      Best half day possible
      We only had one free day in Nelson. Karin was very accommodating of our schedule so that we could do the half day wine tour. It was a beautiful day spent in beautiful surroundings. The vineyards she took us to were boutique vineyards where we had lots of opportunity to not only taste the wine but to discuss the history of the vineyards, the local conditions, etc. The tastings all had a generous pour with many selections of wine. Karin never rushed us and she shared with us her own knowledge of the area and its wine. Highly recommend this tour.

      Superb day out
      We had a super time on this excursion. Door-to-door shuttle service to and from Kaiteriteri, enjoyable boat trip around Abel Tasman national park, then Karin picked us up for a drive through the hills. She’s an excellent driver, took us on interesting walks, and took very good care of the group. Small group tours are wonderful. Highly recommended.

      Abel Tasman and Golden Bay Day tour
      We did the Abel Tasman and Golden Bay Day tour with Karin. It was a wonderful day and Karin was able to make it work with our cruise ship time in port. Booking was a pleasure and she was very responsive to our needs. We were picked up in Nelson at the I-Site and taken to Kaiteriteri beach where we caught our 1 1/2 hour Sea Shuttle boat ride up the coast. It was so scenic and beautiful along the coastline. We also had a nice walk to scenic spots, visited the springs and even had time for some delicious pizza for lunch at the Dangerous Kitchen. Karin was great and we really spent a full day taking in the wonderful beauty of the area!

      Great Experiences Await
      We spent two days with Tasman Tours and their leader, Karin Klebert. Two VERY enjoyable and different experiences. A day getting an over view of the beauty and wonder of Tasman Park and a second exploring 4 four wineries. The days were untrusted, considerate of the interests of the group and led by a woman who knows and loves her community. Would repeat in a heartbeat.

      Fantastic Learning Expeience
      This tour was much more than we expected with additional stops at points of interest like a tour through native New Zealand bush and the Waikoropupu springs. Karin was an excellent tour guide! Everything was well arranged.

      Excellent wine tour!
      Karin was such a great tour guide, with so much interesting local knowledge. She enabled us to book a small group tour which we customised to include the best of the local wineries. It was the best wine tour any of us had ever done! Highly recommend!! Thank you Karin

      Memorable Trip
      We had a great time with Tasman tours along with our parents. The tour was well arranged and was flexible to show tourist spots as per my parents need. Parents were really happy to have such nice cooperative guide who was always keen to provide information on each spot of trip. Thanks a lot Rahul

      Wine tour on a rainy day
      We had a very nice day on the tour. Our driver drove very good, so that I felt safe all the time. Since it was raining the wohle day, it was the best thing we could do :-) The wineries were mostly very nice. As I have some dietary issues, most of the wineries were thoughtfull and knew their wines (ingredients) very well so that I felt well-advised. Only with Moutere Hills Vineyard I was unsatified as the service wasn't as nice as in the wineries before. All in all I would recommend this tour, also for people with dietary issues ;-)

      Scenic drive
      We started out from Nelson and drove via Motueka to Kaiteriteri beach, for a swim in the clear water. Then we took an afternoon boat trip round the Abel Tasman bays. The boat drops off hikers on the way. Some very pretty scenery. A great day.

      Fantastic wine tasting tour in the Nelson region/Golden Bay
      We booked a wine tasting tour at Tasman Tours. Our guide, Karin, took us to really great places. The different wineries, like the wines, were unique. The wines were exquisite and outstanding. There was something extraordinary for every taste. Karin has proved to be an excellent connoisseur of the scene. Thanks to her, the New Zealand wine scene is now much more familiar to us. And we have discovered even more beauties of the Nelson region. Anyone who wants to experience the Golden Bay and the Nelson region from an extraordinary side should contact Tasman Tours. Its worth every penny.

    This beach is stunning! It is a couple of km drive down a gravel road then a 20 minute walk to the beach over farm land and Bush. The views are amazing with sand dunes and rock formations. We spotted a couple of seals on the rocks too. There is a small cafe and a toilet at the start of the walk.
