Do you want to explore the Abel Tasman at your own pace, on your own time, and truly absorb the serenity of this beautiful park?

Then renting/hiring a kayak is the option for you and best of all no prior experience (for most trips) is required, just a love of adventure. Before you depart our base we provide a comprehensive safety briefing ensuring you are confident. As part of your briefing we focus on pointing out special spots and provide detailed interpretation so you can get the most out of your trip. Launch your double sea kayak from one of the many golden sandy beaches, float on clear turquoise water and explore the park your own way.

There`s a rhythm to it after the first few strokes - paddle dips, blade catches, kayak glides.

That`s the point a trip stops feeling like a technique and starts feeling like just moving through the water.

Day one of a park start trip looks simpler than people expect.

A briefing at Marahau, a water taxi into the park, kayaking for the rest of the day, then pitching your tent at the end of the day.

Curious what day one actually looks like? It`s in the video.

Kaka, Tūi and bellbird, flitting through the bush before the rest of the park wakes up.

First light on the Coast Track sounds like this - no traffic, no chatter, just birdsong doing most of the talking. Worth being up for.

Early starts have their reasons.

There`s a particular kind of quiet that settles in once the tent`s up and the kettle`s on.

What`s your version of switching off?
