Sea Adventures and Stunning Views in Abel Tasman
After lunch, trade your walking shoes for a paddle and glide through the Astrolabe’s picturesque coastline. Your guided kayak trip reveals secret coves and thriving marine life, with chances to spot seals and seabirds along the way. The calm waters and surrounding landscapes make this part of the journey truly memorable.
If conditions allow, raise your kayak sail and feel the breeze carry you back toward Marahau in an exhilarating finale. The blend of wind, water, and movement captures the spirit of adventure that defines Abel Tasman. As the coastline comes into view, you’ll know you’ve experienced the very best of Earth, Sea, and Sky.
