Highlights: Adele Island Bird Sanctuary, NZ Fur Seals, Coastal Walk
Indulge yourself in the two elements, the water (wai) and the land (whenua), of the beautiful southern section.
See a magnitude of lush, golden beaches and find yourself in the slice of paradise you have only ever dreamed about. Visit Adele Island, ringing with a chorus of native birdsong and spot the NZ Fur Seal (kekeno) sun-bathing on the rocks and chasing the wake of your kayak. Spend time taking in the fresh coastal air as you walk through the native surrounds of the National Park.
Multiple look out points, echoing birdsong and the many golden sand beaches make this walk one you will never forget.

5.00The kayak was super fun. Emma was a blast, funny and educational, and she sent us several pics of us that she took. The trek back was lovely.
Ideal way to spend a day in Abel Tasman

5.00A great day in Abel Tasman. Good easy morning walk up the coastal track. Rain at lunch disappeared once we got out on the water. A delightful afternoon kayak with guide Pandi who took us along the coast. The highlight was the group of baby seals frolicking by an island. They were still young enough to be curious about humans and swam back and forth only a handful of meters away. Unforgettable.
Beautiful scenery with a full on active day

5.00Great opportunity to learn to kayak. The boats were comfy and kept our stuff dry. We saw seals and birds and had a lovely swim in the water. We enjoyed our own picnic but you can pay for lunch. Our guide was very knowledgeable, taught us how to paddle effectively and taught us about the local fauna. It was great weather but even so the paddling was hard work. We enjoy being active so had a great time, but if you want a chill beach day, this tour is not for you. Our ferry back was well organised and there was hot showers were appreciated. Thank you for a great time 😄
Great experience

5.00Just returned from an amazing day of kayaking and walking. The kayaking was fantastic. Pandi, our guide, was amazing. Safety procedures were paramount but we had lots of fun and challenges. We were guided to see seals and stopped at beautiful bays along the way. The group mixed well and Pandi made sure that we were all happy and comfortable at all times. Excellent instruction and great fun.
Amazing Trip with a great Guide and Organisation

5.00We upgraded last minute to a trip further down the park. Rohan made it possible and was extremely helpful!! It was an absolutely amazing experience and I would always combine kayak and walking there. There are a couple more tour options on R&Rs site. 100% recommended!
Exceptional and beautiful

5.00What an awesome family/whanau company. We booked the self guided kayak tour then the weather didn't look great. Johan kept in touch in the days leading up and gave us a second and third option rather than just let us down. We chose the 10KM walk and then the guided tour back. It was stunning and Tom our guide, who has only been in NZ less than 4 years, was so knowledgeable about the area and history. Could not recommend these guys more. Thank you so much for making this an amazing day.
Not as planned but still have a nice day.

5.00The kayak tour did not go as planned due to strong emerging winds. Guide Tom stopped after more than an hour of toiling against the wind in the trip and we finished the trip on foot. Lots of extra info about the region.
Excellent company for kayaking in Abel Tasman

5.00We decided we wanted to kayak last minute. I emailed many places but they wouldn’t book online within 24 hours. Rohan immediately responded to my email, with a “ not to worry, we can help!” He went over many options of what we could do, and where we could go. We ended up hiking 6 miles to Observation Cove where there were kayaks and a guide waiting for us. Lucas, our guide was not only kind, and engaging but extremely knowledgeable. We had a lovely 3 hour kayak back to a warm shower, and all our belongings laid out for us on a table. R and R has tip top equipment which we saw soaked and cleaned when we finished. It was a lovely day! (
