Itinerary
Your day starts at 8:45 on the beach at Kaiteriteri where your
guide will get you ready to kayak and give you a safety breifing.
Leaving the beach at about 9:30, we paddle north past Ngaio
Island to the famous Split Apple Rock.
The next step is to cross Marahau Bay and arrive at Appletree
Bay. Appletree Bay is part of a beautiful section of the Abel
Tasman coastline known as the Astrolabe, we arrive here about
11:30 and take some time to enjoy a hot drink beach cafe style!
We spend the afternoon exploring the Astrolabe, stopping along
the way to enjoy the beaches and sunshine. Adele and Fishermans
Island's are frequent choices for a stop as we start the return
journey to Kaiteriteri. They provide an isolated coastline with
the chance for wildlife encounters.
Weather conditions permitting, we use the afternoon seabreeze
to sail back from Fishermans Island to Kaiteriteri Beach where
we finish our journey just before 5:00pm. Please note: This
itinerary is an outline only. Your guide may decide to vary
this program based on their judgement of weather & sea conditions
and client ability/fitness levels. Flora & FaunaIncreased
time on the water improves the chance of random encounters with
sea-life. Experience shows we are more likely to sight dolphins
on this tour than any other. Seals live at the back of Adele
Island for 8 months of the year (March – October).
We also pass a couple of shag colonies along the way. Places
such as Stillwell Bay are guide-favourites to be shared with
you, as we paddle around distinctive caves and arches, surrounded
by bright green tree-ferns. Adele Island is now part of a stoat-trapping
program to help revive native bird populations. The views from
this island track aren’t too bad either!
