Lovely words from Toshie after kayaking with The Sea Kayak Company

Toshie loved little blue penguins!



For The Sea Kayak Company

Hi .Thank you very much for your help,
I wanted to convey the feeling of thanks, I was able to have a very happy experience.

That was my first kayak and I cannot speak English so much, so I was uneasy at first.
However,Stef of the guide helped me, I was able to make a kayak happy.
I could watch fur seals and penguins which I loved, and the kayak was pleasant, and the lunch was very delicious.

I wanted to convey the feeling of thanks,but didn't know how to say in English
so I sent this e-mail

I want to participate in a tour again sometime.

The Entirely World Famous Tour with Rowie at Abel Tasman's Famous Split Apple Rock

Niquel's Kayaking day


MOTUEKA
The Sea KayakCompany

An early start today, we departed the Grand Mercure Monaco at around 7am. We met Rohan our guide for the day at the depo in Motueka before heading out to Marahau for our half-day Split Apple Rock Tour or as we renamed it, the Cake and Cave on High Tide Tour.

We put our spray skirts and life jackets on and set out to explore the mysteries of the Abel Tasman Sea. Paddling south to Split Apple Rock, we were able to experirence the rugged bush coastline and the beauties that lie below the water's surface. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any marine animals but we did see an abundance of bird life.


When we reached Split Apple Rock (hence the name of the tour) I attempted to mimic the infamous post card and climbed on the rock for a photo opportunity.

After paddling through magnificent caves and climbing big rocks we anchored our Kayaks on a beautiful golden sand beach, for a picnic lunch. Taking in the picture perfect day we lazed on the beach and devoured Rohan's yummy carrot cake (tea, coffee and juice also provided). Recharched and ready to work off the carrot cake, we paddled offshore and headed back the same way we came.

The Sea Kayaking Company offers many different kayaking tours from half-day to three days. For more information visit their website: www.seakayaknz.co.nz
