카약 경험이 있으면 무조건 추천합니다.

처음 도착하시면 친절하게 안전수칙이랑 위기상황시에 대응요령, 기초등을 모두 가르쳐 줍니다. 초보분들도 충분히 해내실 수 있지만, 패들링을 해보신 경험이 없을 경우 빨리 지치실 수 있기 때문에 스탭이 안내해주는 짧은 코스로 다녀오시던가 하는게 좋습니다. 스탭이 알려주는 풀코스로 다녀올 경우, 조류에 따라 많이 힘드실 수도 있습니다. 그렇지만 큰 섬에 있는 물개와 물 색은 힘들었던 것들을 모두 보상할만큼 커엽습니다. 야생동물과는 항상 스탭이 이야기하는 20m거리 유지하시면서 즐기시고, 너무 먼 바다 나가지 말고 해안선따라서 찬찬히 둘러보면서 즐기다 오시면 진짜 재밋습니다.

Kayak your way

Staff were friendly, everything was clearly explained making us feel confident. Had an amazing day out kayaking, stopping at private bays, seeing baby seals. Got some great photos. Highly recommend this experience.

Best team to do kayaking

A wonderful kayaking experience 🙂. A must-try activity in the Abel Tasman region. Don’t worry even if you’re a beginner—our guide Ryan was extremely experienced, guided us patiently, and made kayaking truly enjoyable

Kahu kayaks

Kahu kayaks was amazing. The team were so friendly and helpful and the experience itself was 10/10. Couldn’t have asked for a better day. Couldn’t recommend them enough.
