Wilsons Abel Tasman 1 day guided kayak trips New Zealand

Walking and Guided sea kayaking in Abel Tasman National Park with Wilson's, whose family has been operating in this region for 30 years, gives you the benefit of their vast experience.

Abel Tasman National Park is known for its protected waters and predominantly calm conditions. The use of double kayaks provides stability and and the power of two paddlers should the conditions be less than perfect. You do not need to be an experienced paddler as knowledgeable guides provide all the training you require and accompany you on your paddling expedition. Explore the secrets of forest-fringed, golden-sand bays, sculpted granite headlands and kayak with the seals on most trips.

Your Guide will design each day to suit conditions and the group's interests and abilities. If their instructions are followed, kayaking Abel Tasman is safe and fun.
