Kayaking Abel Tasman

Abel Tasman National Park borders Takaka to the east. It has amazing beaches and beautiful mountains all in one package. There is some major hiking in the area but most of it involves multi-day excursions and we did not bring the kind of gear we would need. Instead we decided to rent kayaks today and paddle the border!

Below are some pictures from the kayak of us and the Abel Tasman border. The rock formation is called "Split Apple Rock" and is really cool but impossible to park the kayak near safely so we just got shots from the outside.

There are a bunch of neat caves near the rock, which we got to explore because of low tide. All in all it was a great day and a fabulous end to the Takaka visit.
