Kaiteriteri Kayak - Astrolabe Explorer Full Day Guided Kayak

4.9

Join Kaiterteri Kayak for an unforgettable full day kayak adventure exploring the beautiful coastline between Anchorage and Kaiteriteri.

Highlights

NZ Fur Seal encounters at Adele Island seal colony
Hear the Birdsong at Adele Island's predator free bird sanctuary
Experience some of the secluded beaches of the Astrolabe area, paddle the islands and explore
A one-way tour moving in the same direction as the predominant wind - the sea breeze

You'll see more of the Abel Tasman National Park from a kayak than any other day trip!

Explore lagoons (if tide permits), paddle with the seals at Adele Island, check out Split Apple Rock, visit Te Pukatea Bay, the Mad Mile and sit back, close your eyes and listen to the abundant birdsong of the Adele Island Wildlife Sanctuary.

Places such as Stilwell Bay are guide-favourites to share with you - we’ll paddle around distinctive and fascinating caves and arches, surrounded by luscious green tree-ferns. The friendly fur seals of Adele Island are in residence all year round and we also pass a couple of Cormorant colonies along the way!

You’ll start your journey with a scenic Sea Shuttle cruise to the heart of the park where you'll start your kayaking experience. We paddle in the same direction as the predominant wind - the sea breeze. This makes for a great day with some opportunities for some great sailing when the weather permits.

This tour requires a reasonable amount of fitness as it is the longest paddling day on the water - our friendly guide will show you the ropes and make sure you are comfortable and confident before heading out on the water!

Duration: 9am - 4:30pm. Total paddling time of 3.5 to 4hrs approximately 12km in distance.

Location: The Kaiteriteri beach base on Kaiteriteri-Sandy Bay Road.

Per Person $175.00

Toller Trip

Wir hatten eine super tolle "Privat"-Tour! An diesem Tag hatten nur wir die Full Day Tour gebucht und waren daher mit unserem Guide alleine. Es war super entspannt und wir hatten tolles Wetter. Zuerst fährt man von Kaiteriteri mit dem Aqua Shuttle nach Anchorage und startet dort mit den Kayaks. Wir haben kleine Buchten erkundet, sind über das offenen Meer gepaddelt, haben dort Dusky Dolphins um uns herum springen sehen und bei Adele Island die Fur Seal Colony vom Wasser aus gesehen. Immer begleitet von interessanten Geschichten und Fakten unseres Guides. An einem Strand gibt's dann Lunch und weiter geht's entlang der Küstenlinie, durch Buchten wie Sandy Bay und vorbei am Split Apple Rock. Eine tolle Tour die unbedingt empfehlenswert ist und super viel Spaß macht, wenn man gerne Kayak fährt und gerne auf dem Wasser ist.
