Review of Abel Tasman’s Kayak & Walk from Marahau, with coastal kayaking, beach lunch, forest trails, timing, price, and practical tips.
“Kajak tour is well prepared even for participants, who have never to do with this sport. The assistance given by the guieds is fantastic.”
Paddle Abel Tasman at your own pace, visit Adele Island, find coastal caves, and enjoy a flexible one-day kayak adventure from Marahau.
“De dag begon met goede uitleg over het gebruik van de kajak. Het is fijn dat er een groot waterdicht opbergvak in de kajak zit. Ideaal voor een rugzak met lunch. Vervolgens werden we naar het water gebracht en na een kleine instructie mochten we volledig zelfstandig aan de gang. De kaart die we mee kregen was fijn om de weg te weten op het water. Leuke toevoeging was het zeehonden spotten.”

Combine guided kayaking to Split Apple Rock with a scenic 44km eBike ride from Kaiteriteri to Mapua on this full-day Nelson adventure.
“Loved the kayaking and well signed Taste Trail. Would not let novice riders do the 44km ride in the heat, as it was demanding in places eg a MTB course to start. Not lots of places to stop for food and drink. Beautiful views.”
