Top Nelson Multi-day Tours

Great place, amazing bike trails, helpful staff.

Absolutely the best experience ever! Far exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning the team was organized, cheerful, on time and efficient. They provided an extremely personalized experience, excellent food and lodging, and delightful guidance on our challenging walks. The days when we didn't hike, centered at the lovely and well-appointed lodges, were some of our favorites. We did smaller hikes and kayaked on crystal clear waters with stingrays flying under the boats! Our guides, Moana and Brydie, were charming, knowledgable, careful and encouraging. We learned so much from them about the local ecosystems, conservation efforts and Maori culture! MUCH more than we expected. And we expected a lot!

I can’t think of how we could have had a better weekend. The shuttle drivers gave us brilliant advice on how to progress through the networks we visited. They were flexible and were able to assess how we were going and make great suggestions. The trails are steep and tight and rocky in places with a high degree of difficulty depending on the trail, the ride experience was outstanding. The workshop and shop are well equipped and ready to assist with inevitable breakages.

My husband and I had a fantastic time on our 3 day kayak/hike trip in Abel Tasman. Our guide, Rod, was awesome! He was very knowledgeable, professional, and also great fun! The lodges were great and meals were delicious.We met a big group going southbound and we observed that the company was very accommodating with everyone's abilities. The group was split up into those who wanted to try a bit of kayaking, to those who only wanted to hike (and that group was also divided into long vs short hiking too). A couple from London was not interested in walking that day and they were able to catch the boat to take them to the next lodge.This 3 day trip was definitely the highlight of our month-long trip to New Zealand. We highly recommend Wilsons and hope you get Rod as your guide!
