Kayaking the Abel Tasman National Park is a great way to explore the coastline, beaches and coves. We can customise any of our kayak trips or put together a bespoke day or overnight adventure. A custom trip would include a private charter and kayak guide for the day or overnight. This is a great option for families and larger groups, providing more flexibility for a range of abilities, time and experience.

There is great fishing to be had in the Tasman Bay especially over summer. Main target species are Kingfish, Snapper & Gurnard. Local skippers provide local knowledge, and take you to the spots that produce the best fishing. Suitable for novices or experienced anglers.  Charters are priced from $300 an hr (min 3 hrs) for 1 - 4 people.  Gear and bait are included and fish are filleted where possible.

From a relaxed scenic cruise of the Abel Tasman National Park, to cruising, swimming or walking or a combination of these options send us an enquiry letting us know what you are after and we can come back with pricing and suggestions.

In our mind, this is the perfect day out..... Cruise by boat into the park, set up for a day on the beach with sun shelter, sit on top kayaks and a great selection of food. Spend the day swimming, walking, kayaking or just relaxing.  We can supply the shelter, catering and a guide for the day.
