Marahau, the land of Sea Kayaking!

Marahau is the gate to Abel Tasman National Park and the place to sea kayak in New Zealand, every minute you see groups of people getting out in kayaks to explore the park.

Here are photos of our exploration trip there.



Getting ready, now at Sandy beach in Marahau.



To Adele island, in the way we found some crazy currents and strong wind gust.
