Nice to see a very different part of the Abel Tasman and we had calm, glassy water as we explored the rock stacks and arches just off the beach. The nice and friendly crew made this an enjoyable experience for our group.

A great way to experience the beautiful, spring infused clear waters of Golden Bay as well as the open ocean which delights the kayaker with beautiful rock formations, small islands and seals. The guide was patient and a great instructor and leader. I had never been on a kayak so this was an amazing challenge that resulted in a wonderful...

Great team - very safety concious and informative We were lucky to get close to seals and the fresh brewed coffee with cookies on the beach was a highlight...

Second part of the trip before the turning point...

We enjoyed the half day guided tour. We got to have a go at kayaking in the open water, saw a large stingray, checked out the mussel farms and saw some seals.

Unfortunately an hour into the trip the wind came up and conditions got rough. Just as we were starting to get really worried Tony pops up on his Kayak...

Tui and Tony were great guides. We had them to ourselves. First time kayaking so we appreciated their patience with us.
Went farther than I thought we would for a 4 hour booking. It was worth visiting a great beach. Tui motivated us by signing classic 90's tunes. Great equipment and overall experience. Such a beautiful area that is not...

The owner, Tony, is knowledgeable and helpful. He's also a good instructor. We came in not knowing much about...

Beautiful scenery, seals up close and personal, a knowledgeable and friendly guide - this is one trip not to be missed when visiting Abel Tasman. We were inexperienced kayakers but felt safe and had a truly enjoyable experience we will remember for many years.
