Kayaking is our first passion, so when I told our kayak club members we were incorporating some Canyoning in to our 10 day kayaking trip around Nelson, it took some convincing.

For most it was their first experience of Canyoning and the thought of sliding, abseiling, jumping and zip lining down a freezing cold river was a challenge 10 of us were keen to experience.

Firstly, we must say how impressed we were with the professionalism, safety and humour on the day, of all their team on and off the water.

Secondly, we were all treated as equals no matter whether male or female, young or maturer. We all achieved what we wanted out of the day.

Thirdly, the free photos were just awesome and meant one less thing for us to worry about.

Fourthly, we all agreed it was excellent value for money.

All in all, we would all highly recommend Abel Tasman Canyons and hope to return in a year or so with another group to give them the same opportunity to experience this epic adventure!

Thanks from all of us (Bay of Plenty Yakity Yak Kayak Club Members)
