Kayaking

There are many options for sea kayaking in the national park.

Trips are tailored specifically towards guests who are staying at Awaroa Lodge.

Kayaking is weather dependant but it doesn't matter if you are an experienced kayaker or a first timer. The guides are qualified to deal with every situation and all kayak trips are in double kayaks.

You must be accompanied by a guide if you wish to sea kayak in the Abel Tasman National Park due to safety regulations.

Here is a sample of a couple of trips on offer:

Tonga Island Seals and Guided Walk - meet at Onetahuti beach and kayak around the seal colony. Heading south, stop for lunch at Medlands beach and then a guided bush walk finishing at Torrent Bay.

Water taxi back to Awaroa Lodge

Seals and Remote Coast - meet at Onetahuti beach and kayak to the seal colony. Heading south, kayak down towards Bark Bay stopping at beaches and inlets along the way.

Water taxi from Bark Bay back to Awaroa Lodge
