This action-packed day starts at 8:15 am with a sea kayaking journey along the Abel Tasman coastline, gliding past golden beaches, offshore islands and hidden sea caves. From Watering Cove, take a short 30-minute walk to Anchorage where panoramic coastal views reward your effort. Keep your camera ready – this part of the park is home to some of its most photogenic scenery.
By 1:30 pm, step aboard the sailing catamaran at Anchorage and let the sea breeze carry you past fur seals basking at Pinnacle Island. Cruise the coastline in style, soaking up the relaxed atmosphere and admiring Split Apple Rock on your way back. With its perfect mix of paddling, walking and sailing, this tour offers a true taste of Abel Tasman’s landscapes and wildlife.
