Guided Kayak and Walk

Fantastic day in Abel Tasman National Park. The moment we arrived at Kahu Kayak HQ, we knew we had picked the right tour. Fabulous 3 hour Kayak with Squid (Sydney) as our guide. I was worried that I wouldn't be up for the challenge, but once we were on our way, I knew I had nothing to worry about. Fantastic morning kayaking, swim and a bite to eat on the beach, then headed out for the walk back to HQ. Breathtaking scenery and very easy trail after the first 500m (very steep). The walk took just over 2.5 hours. I would highly recommend this tour.

Nice day out

Well planned activity, which the guide tailored to us (seeing seals!) and to the level of the group.

Guided Kayak

Fantastic guide, EJ. He was friendly & made the best coffee”s, certainly an asset to your business. The only advice i could recommend is advising where company car park is in relation to the end of the walk.

Fabulous!

We were blessed with a 25 degree sunny day and an amazing Kayak guide Eve who was entertaining and catered to the different levels of experience of kayakers in our group. Coffee and muffins on arrival at Observation beach fuelled us for the walk back along the track to Marehau. A great day out!
