Abel Tasman Kayaking - 10:23
Camping Observation Beach, Abel Tasman NP (fullsize)
|
Keith and I met up for a kayaking trip in Abel Tasman National Park when we
were both in New Zealand. The photos are all up on my
Abel Tasman Kayaking January
2010 Page
As Keith said this is something that should be on everyone's bucket list. An
incredible area and some wonderful kayaking. We were thinking about it a fair
bit and we both think there are other ways you can approach this trip that
would be fun. Heidi told me there is an Abel Tasman marathon sometime in
September, I am thinking that it would be a lot of fun to run up the track to
the end in one day, get your gear dropped up there for camping along with a
fast AR double kayak. The next day leave your gear there to be picked up and
kayak back.
Otherwise we both think doing the track walk to the end and then kayaking
back, or maybe walking in from the other end of the track and doing a remote
park start for your kayak trip at Tonga Beach (this is the farthest north the
rented kayaks will be dropped off) and paddle back to Marahau.
I had a lot of fun on the trip and the fact we did not have a nice fast kayak
such as Matilda was not really a problem as we are on holiday and not trying
to go fast or anything. I did miss Matilda a bit at times but I got over it.
