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.
