This is ‘kiwi tikiing’ at its best. One day unguided walking, one day guided kayak and one day kayaking on your own.

Please note that the Environmental Access Fee must be booked and is non-commissionable

Water taxi to Totaranui and spend the first day walking in the northern section of the park. After crossing the Awaroa Lagoon spend a night at Awaroa Glamping, Awaroa Bay.

Day two sees you paddling on our guided Remote Marine Reserve Tour. Accommodation on night two is at Bark Bay or Anchorage campsite depending on the tide, we supply all the camping gear. Day three allows you to explore the coastline by kayak from either Bark to Anchorage or Anchorage to Marahau depending on where you camped the night before. Now that’s what we call a tiki tour!

Paddling is our business, with all activities supported by our purpose-built kayak base, free hot showers, free wifi, free equipment storage & client transporters. We also provide high-quality soft gear – fitted for each client by our guides and high-quality hard gear – customised for comfort for each client.

On this trip in the marine reserve you have a professional guide with you for around 6 hours sharing their knowledge and passion of the Abel Tasman. We supply lunch and camping gear on day two.

Every trip is unique like each of our clients.

Min of 2 pax required for this trip. Single supplement $60pp.
