Abel Tasman National Park is New Zealand's most popular sea kayak destination.

Over 50 kilometers of coastline offers dozens of golden sand beaches to visit, while the many coves and lagoons provide plenty of interesting nooks and crannies to explore. Coming to sea kayak here also opens up a world of sea and bird life encounters with animals such as penguins, seals and dolphins. So all in all, you've got to say, it's really not a bad spot!

All our guided trips have an emphasis on relaxation, fun and enjoyment. We reckon we achieve this through the focus and energy of our guides. They are a great bunch of characters.
