Experience the stunning scenery of Abel Tasman on a 3 hour guided kayak tour followed by a self-guided nature walk.
Heading off from Marahau on a guided kayak tour we make our way up to Observation Beach taking in the beautiful sights of the Abel Tasman coastline.
Your scenic paddle will take you past dozens of golden sandy beaches, sea caves, reefs and two islands which make for fantastic photo opportunities.
Then back onto dry land where you will enjoy an easy self-guided walk back to Marahau along the headlands and through native fern gullies.

Our family had a great time. Friendly knowledgeable guide, beautiful scenery and finished with an easy walk through native bush. The hot drink break on the beach was a treat!
Jess was amazing!! Thank you and we will have no hesitation recommending Kahu
Had a great time, my tour guide was very knowledgable and relaxed, made the whole vibe feel very chill and fun!
Great guide (Jasper I think??) who was clearly very passionate about his job and our enjoyment. Saw lots of seals around the island including pups playing in waves etc. Tea/coffee was a treat too. Once you get to the beach it’s a self guided walk back (which is 8-10km) - flat path, beautiful views, but no way to come off earlier if needed

Paradise kanu and walk experience
My husband and I booked the kayak tour in Marahau our honeymoon vacation in October 2025. The tour took us along the coast of the Abel Tasman National Park for about 3 hours and ended at the Observation beach – a paradise of golden sand, rocks and a fantastic view. We had a longer coffee break at the beach before we headed back to town on the Abel Tasman Coastal Track. The track was just wonderful to walk, easy and with beautiful views on the numerous bays. Since we took our time observing the nature we needed about 3 hours for the way back (approx. 11 km). Our tour guide created a relaxed atmosphere with his easy-going and humorous nature. He showed us the area where sea lions live and we got to see some jellyfish. Also he told us about the history and wild life of the region. The tour was one of the best activities we booked during our vacation in New Zealand.
