New Zealand: Sea Kayaking

Monday, April 2nd, 2007



If you are looking to do something a little out of the ordinary on a trip to New Zealand, you might consider sea kayaking. And one of the best places to enjoy sea kayaking in New Zealand is at Abel Tasman National Park.

654819_yellow_kayak_2.jpgAbel Tasman National Park is located on the South Island of New Zealand. Abel Tasman is at the north end of the island, right on Golden Bay. The weather is beautiful year round, and it is an excellent area for sea kayaking. There are plenty of small coves and calm beaches to explore while sea kayaking, and since most of the coastline in this area is accessible only by boat, viewing the spectacular South Island northern coast is an experience few people enjoy.

You will also see a variety of sea life: fur seals, shags, blue penguins, gannets, and dolphins. Sea kayaking in New Zealand is a great way to see more and do more.
