    First you kayak for about three hours along beautiful beaches and stop wherever you want.

    At Anchorage you leave the kayaks at the beach and walk part of the great walk back. Very beautiful, but a lot harder than you think in the beginning.

    We arrived at 8am to enquire about freedom kayak hires for the same day.

    Without hassle, we were trained and tested on our kayak rescue skills and by 9:30am we were on the water to explore. Easy pickup and dropoff on the beach!

    The three hour kayaking tour is really hard if you are untrained.

    But the beautiful beaches of Abel Tasman make the paddling worthwhile. The walk back was also really awesome.

    We hired a kayak for two days, without a guide.

    The trip itself was wonderful! The people of the organisation were a bit impersonal and our water taxi was not arranged. But the facilities were nice, the showers etc.

    Rent a kayak for 2 day.

    Nice but you should count with four hours just for explaining how to paddle etc and second day you return equipment at 4pm. Too soon, otherwise good kayaks and cookies with tea when I wait for boat.
