Your trip includes an Environmental Access Fee which goes directly towards preserving the Abel Tasman National Park.

A portion of your ticket price goes directly towards preserving the unique environment you will enjoy on your trip in the Abel Tasman. This includes the compulsory concession fees paid to the Department of Conversation as well as voluntary contributions to local organisations and projects to improve the environment, ecology and access to the National Park. Fees are adjusted according to your trip, you can see your contribution when you purchase a ticket.

Check-in is at Abel Tasman Kayaks 273 Sandybay-Marahau Rd, Marahau

Check in time is seasonal, generally Summer (1 Sept &ndash; 30 Apr) &nbsp;8.15 am &nbsp;&amp; Winter (1 May &ndash; 31 Aug) 9.00 am check-in. Please check your confirmation email or the trip itinerary as some trips do start later.

Your day kicks off with a Water Taxi ride to Torrent Bay. Begin your unguided walk from Torrent Bay as the track gradually climbs, then meanders around two valleys and above an inlet, eventually leading to Falls River. &nbsp;Falls River is crossed via a remarkable 47-meter suspension bridge, a real highlight of this trip. Beyond the suspension bridge crossing, the trail winds through lush coastal forest before descending back to sea level at Bark Bay. Enjoy a freshly made lunch at Bark Bay, before being picked up by the water taxi.

&nbsp;

Relax on-board the water taxi taking in the coastal views and the path just walked. &nbsp;Upon reaching Observation Beach meet the kayak guide. On the second leg of this adventure, experience twelve exquisite beaches, awe-inspiring rock formations, and chances to encounter a playful seal or two from your kayak. Conditions permitting, there&rsquo;s a chance to harness the afternoon sea breeze and kayak-sail your way back to Marahau.

&nbsp;

We offer three combinations of walking and kayaking adventures in the southern end of the Abel Tasman. One alternative option is the Kayak &amp; Pitt Head Nature Loop, which encompasses Anchorage and surrounds and the other is Kayak and Walk from Marahau to Marahau which retraces its own path.
