Abel Tasman National Park



After much hymming and hawing we decided to do a one day kayak, stay overnight in the park on a boat and do a walk the following day, this turned out to be great.


The kayaking was great fun, even if we did discover that Orlas direction giving isnt top notch (according to Orla though Ro's steering isnt to hot either!!!), only crashed into one rock!!!! Had a great picnic on a fabulous beach and walked up to a wonderful viewpoint. We kayaked for about 4 hours from Marahau to Anchorage.



We stayed on board the Aquapackers boat in Anchorage where we had a delicious BBQ and lots to drink (even a midnight speedboat trip to the glowworm caves!).



Next morning we headed off towards our destination of Onetauthi (we dont know how to spell this!) which was a lovely 17km walk with amazing views of the beaches, bays and clear waters of Abel Tasman. We were really lucky that the sun was shining and this trip was definately worth it.
