Description
Kayak through Abel Tasman National Park at your leisure on the full day freedom kayaking trip with Golden Bay Kayaks. This self-guided adventure offers the chance for those with some kayaking experience to explore the secluded coastline of Northern Abel Tasman over a full day, away from the crowds and surrounded by just nature and wildlife. Some of the most beautiful beaches in New Zealand can be found in the Abel Tasman National Park, and kayaking along the coastline is a truly special experience that you don’t want to miss.
Your full day independent kayak hire begins in at Tata Beach where the friendly team at Golden Bay Kayaks provide a safety briefing and get you settled into stable double kayaks with maps, life jackets and safety equipment. From Golden Bay, it’s a leisurely paddle along the coastline to see the Tata Islands, with incredible scenery and wildlife encounters along the way. As a self guided kayaking trip, you can explore the coves, islands and beaches along this idyllic Abel Tasman National Park coastline at your own pace and maybe even take the time for a quick dip in the crystal clear water.
