" Robert & Lesley from Kingsland Court Motel had a thouroughly enjoyable day with Heather & the Crew from the Abel Tasman Sea Shuttles, they departed Kaiteriteri cruised up the Abel Tasman National Park to Bark Bay & walked back to Torrent Bay to there pick up with the Water Taxi. They walked through lush green native forest along the track overlooking the bays. Stunning scenery, excellent knowledge of the Park from Heather as they meandered to Torrent Bay.
