4.0/5
I did the Trilogy Loop.
The horses were great (Ginger is lovely!), the scenery is stunning and our guide was very friendly. It was probably my best horsetreck ever!
We were a small group of experienced riders (only 6, including the guide), which was perfect! We did a lot of river crossing and of cantering.
BUT...
They describe it as a 3 to 3,5 hour ride but we rode only 2,5 hours. And, last but not least, at the end of the ride, we had to hurry and jump into the van that took us back to Queenstown. Instead of dropping us at our hotels/hostels were they had picked us up the same morning, they dropped everyone in the center of Queenstown without telling us before. That was not nice at all. It felt a bit like "now we got your money, we don't care"... tsst tsst tsst.

5.0/5
I had such an amazing time!
Can't find enough words to say 'thank you SAT team'!
Everything was perfect, starting with:
- the door-to-door pick up. I happened to be alone with the driver. She was gold! She explained me so many things about NZ, about Nelson, about the local economy, agriculture, activities in the region, you name it: everything! Kiwis are the best!!
- the staff: very friendly and professional (they're also funny and good looking, btw). They know how to make you feel at ease.
- great choice of tshirts!
- the scenic flight: yes, IT IS a scenic flight! the views are absolutely stunning! You'll get to admire the Abel Tasman national park and its mountains, golden beaches, the bright turquoise sea, gorgeous!! And the weather was beautiful.
- my tandem master was really nice and gentle. He was wearing this very alluring perfume. I remember thinking to myself that if something bad happened i would die happy!!
- the cameran man did a great job! the DVD turned out great and i was amazed by the quality of the pictures. He took a lot of them (about 130), and put them all on the disc, which is cool.
I did many other incredible activities in New Zealand but this one was by far the best! I loved every second of it.
I very highly recommend it to anyone.
If i could give a mark higher than 10, i would!
Anna, this is a fantastic review thank you so much for taking the time to write it. Wow, not sure what more I can say? Perhaps thanks again!

Happy Travels from all of us here at Skydive Abel Tasman :)
