The azure colors of the water around Abel Tasman National Park are extremely cold with the coloring coming from the reflections off the granite sand which blankets the bottom.

Anyone can partake in these kayaking trips as the coastline of Abel Tasman is protected and often the sea is calm and easy to handle. Other days can bring in the wind and paddling against these can be tricky at times, but the guides are experienced and can help with any difficulties.
