Split Apple Classic Half Day

Both beginner and more experienced kayakers will enjoy this relaxed paddle in a sheltered area of the Tasman Bay coastline. See the famous Split Apple Rock, golden beaches, and turquoise waters off Kaiteriteri. Your guide will tell you all about the area, and make sure that you stay safe on the water. This is a family-friendly activity; travelers with kids are advised to take the morning tour, when the winds are likely to be lower.

Heart of the Park Explorer

1 Review

Get off the beaten track in Abel Tasman National Park – literally – and explore the vibrant forest and coast in several different ways on this day trip packed with activities. Start with a scenic cruise to Onetahuti Beach, then enjoy the birdsong as you walk along the Abel Tasman Coastal Track. Meet your kayak guide at Bark Bay and spend the rest of the day exploring the hidden gems and hideaways along the coast. Visit sights like the Falls River Lagoon, that most tourists don’t get to see.

Big Tonga Marine Reserve Full Day

8 Reviews

This ultimate one day experience begins with a scenic Sea Shuttle cruise into the centre of the Tonga Island Marine Reserve where we begin our kayaking from Onetahuti Beach.

Paddling offshore, we’ll head out to Tonga Island, say ‘Gidday’ to the seals, then make our way back along the coastline, before stopping for a well deserved kiwi lunch on a spectacular beach. We’ll float into Falls River lagoon (winds/tides permitting) for some great photo opportunities, then slowly make our way down to Anchorage where our Sea Shuttle will arrive to collect us.

Whether you choose to meet us at Onetahuti, carry on walking after the tour, or simply come kayaking for the day, The Big Tonga fits into any itinerary.

We hold a marine mammal permit and can get as close as 20 metres to the Fur Seals at Tonga Island.

Half day kayak

My wife and I had a wonderful first experience of kayaking with Kaiteriteri Kayak. The team guides Aaron and Charlie were super cool. They provided us with lot of information around the surroundings and even offered to take photos (much needed :P) Highly recommended.

Review of: Split Apple Classic Half Day

We had a fantastic experience. The paddle out to Split Apple was a bit rough but it was a cruisey trip back in with the wind in our favour. Great tour provided Mitch and Charlie! And good banter in the group generally. Would highly recommend!
