We joined the Earth, Sea and Sky Tour with Abel Tasman Kayaks and it was one of the absolute highlights of our time in New Zealand. The combination of kayaking along the stunning coastline and hiking through lush forest and golden beaches is the perfect way to experience the diversity of Abel Tasman National Park.

From the start, everything was incredibly well organised. The kayaking equipment was top quality, the communication clear and the vibe relaxed yet professional. Our guide Henri was fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about the area, which really added to the experience.

We couldn’t have asked for a better way to explore this special part of New Zealand. If you're looking for a mix of active adventure and natural beauty, this is the tour for you. Highly recommended!

Nice guide who told us a lot about the national park. Pleasant group size with only 5 kayaks.

We booked a full day guided kayak trip and loved every second of it. Lou was a fantastic guide, she was really laid back and knowledgable and made it a really unique and fun experience. She knew a ton about local flora and fauna amd we peppered her with questions. The packed lunch was very tasty and it was fun to relax on the beach a bit. We had calm seas and it was not too strenuous to kayak the entire way. We booked in-person the day before, potentially during high season you might want to book further in advance. Absolutely highly recommend this trip, it was a gorgeous way to experience the park!

We booked the half day kayak tour to Observation Beach and everything was fantastic. Our guide Darryl was great- super knowledgeable about the area, funny and full of stories. We saw loads of sea lions, birds, golden beaches, sea caves and had fun exploring the coastline. Had a relaxing snack and tea/coffee on the beach before continuing on our self-guided trip back down the Abel Tasman track to Motueka. The track back is about 3 hours, but allow extra time for viewpoints, photos, and to enjoy the incredible beaches! Highly recommended as a daytrip.. would love to do a longer trip as well.

We had a tandem kayak that departed from Marahau via Abel Tasman Kayaks. Staff were very friendly and gave a good induction and safety briefing. We had a good 3 hours out on the water and were left to our own devices to explore the area at our leisure. Would recommend.

We loved this trip and I cant recommend it enough. We did a 3 day kayaking adventure. Our guide, Whitey was just brilliant. Super experienced and really good with my 12 year old. He was incredibly knowledable and also a great cook. The food and provided alcohol were just exceptional. I felt safe taking my two daughters , aged 12 and 14. The scenery was just stunning and we were so lucky with weather Saw heaps of seals. The camping equipment was easy to use . We did a few side walks which were great. I would 100% do this again!
