Abel Tasman Platter
Spend your morning on the water kayaking through the Astrolabe Roadstead with a small group of fellow kayakers led by one of our expert local guides. Learn about the local history and ecology from a guide who just loves sharing their knowledge and experience. Enjoy your lunch on the beach and then take in the stunning panorama whilst walking the Coastal Track north to Anchorage. Either wander over to secluded Te Puketea Bay via the Pitt Head Loop or just chill out on the beach before catching your water taxi back to Marahau.
