An amazing day out – one of the highlights of our time in New Zealand. A fantastic way to explore Abel Tasman in one day. Our guide was knowledgeable and cheerful. Only thing I'd flag up is that we could have done with some more info re. what to bring before we arrived. The confirmation email and homepage for the event didn't clarify what was needed so we guessed and got it kind of half right! You take everything in the kayak (in a waterproof section) so bring small bags otherwise they won't fit. You'll need trainers/hiking shoes as well as flipflops. Bring clothes you don't mind getting wet in the kayak and dry clothes for the hike if you don't want to walk wet. It's a long kayak trip so hats and long sleeves are recommended to avoid burning. Also, bring LOADS of water!
