Great experience!
My mom and two best friends came to visit me while I was living in New Zealand for a year and we decided last minute to do the kayak tour. It was such an amazing time and our guide was wonderful! We had a lovely morning and would recommend for anyone. Only wish we had gone a bit further...next time we will book a full day!

Wonderful way to spend a day
Really enjoyed the trip - beautiful sunny day - nothing like a cup of hot coffee and a delicious lunch on a beach in one of the most beautiful parts of NZ!

Abel Tasman Kayaks
Brilliant day out! We did the afternoon half day. Lunch was supplied with refreshments. The highlight was ripping out the sail and making a raft with our kayaks. We got some speed on! Daz, Jack and the team were fantastic.
