A great combination to see some of the stunning southern parts of the Abel Tasman National Park. Half day kayaking with half a day walking along the coastal track.
Outstanding value! This leisurely one-day journey gives you a big serve of the Abel Tasman. Warm up with an easy walk along the coastal track discovering scenic outlooks, clear streams and native bush. Incredible views over Anchorage and the Astrolabe Islands make great photo opportunities before the short descent to Watering Cove.
Once on the beach, tuck into one of our great kiwi picnic lunches or your own before embarking on your guided kayak adventure back to Marahau.

* * * Frequently Asked Questions: * * *
Q. How many people go on a guided trip A. We have a maximum ratio of 1 guide to 8 clients.
Q. How fit do I have to be to join a trip? A minimal level of fitness is required for sea kayaking trips. The pace is always adjusted to suit the group and we have frequent comfort stops. Guides instruct clients on easy ways to paddle and you will rapidly develop your skills. Enthusiasm is more important than fitness.
Q. What if I'm not a strong swimmer? A. Strong swimming skills are not essential on guided tours. You will need to have a sense of adventure and enjoy spending time outdoors and on the water.
Q. Can I go kayaking if I get sea-sick? A. If you are prone to sea sickness then please take your medication as recommended.
Q. Are there any height and weight restrictions? A. Height - clients who are taller than 6ft 3" (188cm) will struggle to get into an Econizh kayak and should check with us at time of booking. Clients who are taller than 6ft 7" (198cm) may not fit in a kayak at all and WILL need to try a kayak before they commence the trip, again ask us at the time of booking. Weight - this is harder because it has a lot to do with where the weight is on the body and the height of the client. Econizh kayak cockpits are 41cm wide at their widest, Sea bear kayaks are 47cm wide, any client who is larger than this at the bottom / hip area will be unable to kayak. Again check with us at time of booking. Most people are able to kayak.
Q. Do you use double or single kayaks? A. We use double kayaks on all our guided tours due to them being dryer to paddle. They have a superior load carrying capacity and stability in a variety of sea conditions.
Q. Do we go if it's raining? A. Yes, bring along a rain jacket and an extra warm (wool/fleece) layer of clothing. Marine life is more active on rainy days.
Q. Can we store our vehicle or extra luggage while we are out in the park? A. We provide free storage of vehicles and extra luggage at our base.
