Abel Tasman Marahau Sea Kayaks

It did help that we had great early-March weather, but both the kayak and the aqua-taxi + 12km hike were brilliant. We chose the 3hr freedom kayak, headed south to where Split Apple Rock is and pulled up at a quiet beach. Probably spent 35-40mins each way in the kayak (medium exercise) and the remaining time at the beach. So enjoyable we returned again the national park the following day and took the aqua taxi from Maharau to Anchorage Bay (45mins on the water at a fair cost). Spent time on a beautiful beach then started the 12km (approx 3hr, easy level) trail back to the start at Marahau. Some of the clearest water I've come across and some stunning views. Highly recommended.

The morning water taxi ride for our guided kayak trip, with the afternoon walk to the return taxi point, was a perfect experience. Our guide Tucker was great.

It was fun to kayak around and stop on the beaches. We saw some seals. What impressed us most was the differences between high and low tide.

Our guide Emily was absolutely amazing! She was patient and clear when explaining everything and was super knowledgeable about the area - she even made fresh coffee for us when we stopped for lunch! The kayaking tour was beautiful, we learnt a lot and had heaps of fun, it was perfect for those in our group who had never kayaked before as well as those of us who did.
