On the twelfth day of our honeymoon, we went kayaking in the Abel Tasman Park. We had booked with Kahu kayaks and were running late (we were supposed to be there at 8:30 AM and couldn't find the sun screen). Anyway, the group had left but because they had forgotten a lunch, we were still able to get to the dock and take the tour. The guides and other staff were all really friendly and seemed to have a lot of fun kayaking on the sea. If you're going kayaking in Abel Tasman, I'd highly recommend these guys. The lunches (included in the booking), were really good and had amazing muffins!
Anyway, while kayking, our guide took us to where seals frequently are and we got to see some sun bathing. We also saw some shags (a bird). We didn't see any penguins but there are some that live there. Our guide showed us pictures of some that he had seen the day before. Our guide also took us on a little adventure. We hiked with the kayaks into a river and then paddled down the river a little ways. On the way out, we did a bit of adventure kayaking and paddled all the way out. We had to paddle into the tide and got all wet. We didn't tip over, though.
The weather was amazing on the day that we went and it was one of my favorite days and adventures. There aren't as many pictures as my normal, though, because I had to paddle. However, there is one of my favorites in this post. :)
