This time we went to kayaking in Abel Tasman National Park. 8 of us went to Marahau to rent the kayaks. There are 29 people there all together, most of them are from the same packhouse as us. Therefore, it's super crowded when we arrived there at 9am. It takes us 2 hours of briefing and explanation of rules and regulations before we actually hopped on our kayaks and started having fun.
We planned to go to the Split Apple Rock but we were told that we wouldn't have enough time for that if we wanted to kayak to Adele Island. So we changed our mind and kayaked straight to Adele Island. The journey took us around 90 minutes from the departure beach to Adele Island for our lunch by the beach. We didn't stayed long there as we still had a lot of beaches we wanted to go to.
After that we went to Observatory Beach, Apple Tree Bay and some other beaches I couldn't remember the name. We finally went back on time at 3.30pm before realising we were the last batch to return haha. Even though we had all the waterproof vests on we still get all wet especially our pants. Water still leaked into the vests. And the sea water is cold as hell.
On the way back everyone got crazy and used the water pump to pump the sea water to each other. All of us went back onshore like we fell into the sea. Lol. Got home around 5pm after we went to the 15-minutes track to see the Split Apple Rock from the beach. It's been a long time since I felt this tired haha. What a day.
Kayaking was the first thing I wanted to try when I first arrived in Motueka more than 2 months ago. Now I finally had the chance to do so! Satisfied.
