Myself and my partner had booked on to the Ab Fab paddle and walk, we had an amazing time from start to finish. We got picked up from our accommodation in Marahau and got the water taxi up to the starting point for kayaking - Onetahuti, our guide was quite relaxed and patient which is great if you arent familier...

Rohan's safety brief and tips were very thorough and we felt fully equipped and safe. The kayaks were great. We had a wonderful two days and got... More

Our guide Rohan took us around Adele Island and completely took care of us, taking us to the best spots, taking photos for us and teaching us about the area and entertaining us with stories. The Sea Kayak company is a locally owned company and the personal attention really shows. Highly recommended. More

My wife and I wanted to do a guided one day kayaking trip in the Able Tasman National Park. There are at least 10 different companies offering basically the same trip at the same price so how did we pick this one. After reading a lot of brochures we started calling a few companies. Some had a radio on in... More

These guys are the best. We did the freedom islands, 8 hours of go where you please kayaking. The safety briefing was comprehensive, and everyone, even those who supposedly already knew kayaking had to go through it. As a non swimmer I felt that all the bases had been covered. Their knowledge of the area and conditions was top notch... More

We recently spent three days on a guided sea kayak trip in Abel Tasman National Park. It was one of the best sea kayaking experiences we have ever had. Our guide Kyle gave us great insight into the Maori culture, sharing stories of his people and even starting each day with a prayer and blowing a conch. The highlight of... More

My husband and I did a three day kayak trip with a wonderful guide, Kyle. It was interesting, beautiful, fun, comfortable, efficient, and full of beauty and wildlife. The experience could not have been better. These people are real professionals and really love what they do and where they live. If you can, stay at the Awoara Lodge. It's a... More

I had never been kayaking before. I was a bit nervous but had a great time! Our guide, Sally, was very knowledgable about the area, things to do, the animals, everything! Well worth the money, take the all day tour!!!! More
