Fab day, all members of my grouped loved it. Including the guide, we paddled out with 6 of us. Emily was a fantastic guide. Whole process was seamless, no waiting around or being unsure. Company provided wind breaker jackets and dry bags. Kayaked out to Split apple rock, had tea/coffee and a break on the beach. Our guide had picnic rugs, extra layers if we were cold, wind proof jackets etc felt like they'd thought of everything to give us a great trip. Timing was great, long enough to have fun and feel like we've had an experience without feeling tired/it going on for too long. Grateful for the hot showers at the end!

This was a great experience! I loved all the secluded beaches we stopped at and all the wild life we saw! Darrel was an awesome guide and had a lot of wonderful information about the area and New Zealand as a whole. Would highly recommend this kayak company!

Our kayak adventure with Able Tasman Kayaks was well managed from beginning to end. Every staff member from was friendly, helpful and efficient but Mitchell, our guide, was amazing. His ability to anticipate our needs, keep to the schedule, to provide the details we needed, to make the necessary adjustments (on the third day he provided us with a walking option that was very satifying) and to prepare healthy, delicious meals and snacks for up to 10 of us was truly amazing. The campsites were set up for us and we even had air mattresses. We are not strong paddlers so a kayak/walk/kayak may have been a better choice for us as the waves and headwind around a couple of of the points were hard but Mitchell made it work for us. Thank you Mitchell! I highly recommend Abel Tasman Kayaks for an adventure in a stunningly beautiful place.

Abel Tasman Sea Kayaks’ facility and operation were efficient and well-organized. Our guide was friendly, interesting, and capable. We enjoyed our kayaking but were disappointed that it was significantly shorter duration, especially time in the water, even though there were no delays getting out, weather was great, and group seemed totally up for doing the amount of kayaking suggested by the itinerary.

What a fantastic family trip! Whitney the super guide looked after us so well! The food was amazing, nothing was rushed and a good amount of paddling each day. My son is also Coeliac and they catered for him extremely well. Blue water, green bush and golden sand. Absolutely magic! 💯 recommend!

Fantastic ‘Freedom Kayak’ (self guided) 3 day Park Start. Highly recommended! On our water taxi drop off Skipper went out of his way to look for dolphins that he had heard were around, and what a show they put on for us! Incredible advice from guide Tom before we set out to wait for the tides on day 2 so we didn’t miss being able to paddle in the lagoons. They were so peaceful and great to spot sea life. We saw lots of seals, a ray, a penguin, many shags, etc. It is such a gorgeous place and the campsites (especially Mosquito Bay) are magical. We also had time to do 2 small hikes from anchorage Campground recommended byTom, including a swim and waterslide in Cleopatra’s Pool. Excellent equipment. I wish we had had a full week in AT. Just go. You wont regret it!

Just completed the three day great walk from Totoranui to Marahau. Jordan, our tour guide was exceptional. Great food & drinks. In the short time he has been working there he knows the history of this amazing national park and has a real passion for the outdoors. Next trip I will be booking a kayaking tour. Highly recommend anyone wanting to book a tour, book it through Abel Tasman Kayaks!

From the first email to the shower at the end of our trip our experience with ATK was exceptional. Every team member was professional, friendly, helpful and great to deal with and our guide, Awatea, was fantastic. I can't recommend the Three Day Classic enough. We added an extra day to our trip and walked from Totoranui to Anapai Bay return then on to Awaroa for the night. Tip: pack reef shoes to cross the Awaroa inlet and a plastic bag to put them in afterwards. We met our guide and Kayaks on the beach, had a very clear briefing before hitting the water. The next 3 days were full of adventure information, stories, fun, breathtaking scenery (especially Shag Harbour), delicious meals and possibly the best activity-based trip we have ever done. Our group of 6 (family of 4 and 2 friends) would do it again in a heartbeat.

Awesome day of kyaking with small group & our guide Jordan. He had not been guiding at Abel Tasman Kyaks much more than 3mths, but without a doublt he knows his stuff & even ALL the local points if interest. He is professional an seasoned veteran . Very attentive to all needs & abillities. Not had to recomend thus as a must do if you want to how NZ used to be, prime untouched, golden sand water. Perfect weather *29 C made for a perfect day for all, incleding 2 teenage boys. A nice workout with plenty of rewards at many bays from Arwaroa down to Barks bay, with serveral swims & lunch along the way. 10/10 Jordan - keep doing what you do, a real credit to the Team at Abel Tasman kyaks!!!

We did the tree day classic trip and it was awesome! Our guide Reid was exceptional and made the trip. He was very knowledgeable and always put the guest experience and safety first. All meals / snacks were delicious and GF wasn’t an issue. Camp sites were excellent. Highly recommend ATK and would love to do another trip in the future.

Outstanding 1/2 day out. Great gear and really nice staff. Best kayak company in New Zealand and would highly recommend them.

Abel Tasman Kayaks - awesome experience. Idyllic conditions, amazing views and great guide. Alatea (or Aowtea) was an amazing guide. He was fun, informative and skilled. We had a wonderful morning tour - saw the fur sea lions and a delicious lunch and swim at the end. The colour of the water, the beautiful mountains around us made for a fantastic trip. Highly recommend.

Had an amazing time! Did the 2 day guided overnight trip. Our guide Emily did an awesome job at telling us all about the area, cooking our meals, and helping us have a wonderful trip. The scenery was absolutely stunning! Everything was organized and setup for us so that we were able to just enjoy the national park. Loved getting to sleep in the tent overnight so that we could spend as much time as possible, and we didn't even have to set it up! We will 100% be looking to go back one day. I couldn't of imagined a better trip!

We went on a day Kayak and stayed overnight at Anchorage. Abel Tasman Kayaks organised everything for us and phoned the day before to confirm our plan for the next day. This is important as the tide and wind can impact trips in the Abel Tasman. The change in plan meant we had perfect conditions all day for Kayaking. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and made the trip a lot of fun. I am a bit scared of the water but felt very safe with our guide.

What a fabulous half day paddling with AT kayaks after 3 days walking the track. Tachelle was a top notch guide who definitely knows her stuff and was also passionate about sharing info on the local birds, seals and Mārahau history. Thanks Tāwhirimatea for keeping an eye on the weather for us. Especially after a rather blustery previous day walking where we had seen what it could be like paddling without a guide!! We loved the opportunity to explore via the kayak, some caves a peaceful estuary and Adele Island. We even got a swim in at the Observation Bay lunch stop. Great lunch too. Having walked heaps the last 3 days we opted to water taxi back. So fortunate to live in this beautiful country “ Living our best lives in our 60’s.
