点评:I did a lot of tours during my month on the South Island, and this was the one I’ll carry with me the longest. Waka Abel Tasman went out of their way for us. The season hadn’t started yet, and they could easily have said no, but they made it happen anyway. That kindness set the tone for the whole day, and I felt welcomed from the moment we arrived.
The water was a gorgeous color, and our guides were warm, patient, and so knowledgeable. But what made this special is that it was one of the only times I truly understood the people and the history of the land, and why they matter. I learned so much, and it was far more meaningful than I expected. I left feeling like I was taking a small piece of the island home with me, and I’m grateful to them for that.
If you’re visiting the area, please do this tour. It’s not just a pretty paddle. It’s a chance to connect with the place in a way you can’t get from a viewpoint or a brochure. Highly, highly recommend.

海水呈现出绝美的色彩,我们的导游也热情耐心,而且知识渊博。但让这次经历格外特别的是,这是为数不多的几次让我真正理解当地人民及其历史,也明白他们为何如此重要的时刻。我学到了很多,其意义也远远超出了我的预期。离开时,我觉得自己仿佛把这座岛屿的一小部分带回了家,为此我心怀感激。
如果你要去这一地区旅游,一定要参加这个游览项目。这不仅仅是一次赏心悦目的划船之旅,更是一次以任何观景台或宣传册都无法提供的方式与这片土地产生情感联结的良机。强烈推荐,绝对值得推荐。
