Farewell Spit Tour Abel Tasman: Cape Farewell is the northernmost point of the South Island, and its dramatic coastal cliff offers spectacular views. Fossil Point is a popular spot for New Zealand fur seals, where you can see fossilized shells emerging from mudstone blocks and sea life thriving in rock pools. The guides are passionate about history, ecology, and wildlife and are committed to ensuring you get the most from your trip.
During the summer, up to 20,000 godwits and 30,000 knots visit the Spit, as well as other northern migratory birds. This makes it a nature-lovers paradise, so make sure to bring your cameras and binoculars. The tours depart from Collingwood, Golden Bay, which is two hours north of Nelson. The duration of the tour is 6.5 hours.
