• 5An excellent day on the water

  Excellent overall, we were given an excellent briefing on how to use the kayak and a comprehensive safety instruction followed by further training on the water before we went off for the day. This is an excellent place to sea kayak from, and we had time to visit the seal colony as well as plenty of time in the sun and for lunch. There were a number of excellent nearly empty sandy beaches, and when we arrived back, the leader was quickly there to pick up our kayak. I would certainly recommend a day on the water. We only had limited experience but had a great day, and we're able to travel further than the organised groups.

  We had a beautiful day of kayaking in this gorgeous part of the world. We'd recommend this experience to anyone who loves kayaking and discovering beautiful, secluded beaches.

• 5Turquoise seas, excellent kayaks, great guide !

  From the very helpful and informative first phone call to Zack at R and R to a brilliant kayaking day guided by Pandi this was definitely the highlight of our summer holiday!

• 5Fantastic staff and kayaks in a lovely setting

  Zak and our instructor were fantastic from start to finish. The equipment was well cared for and the kayaks were very stable. We headed out with perfect weather and made our way to Coquille Bay. The waters were calm and the beach deserted. By the time we headed out to Fisherman’s Island the winds picked up, the rest of our day was rough going into the wind. The kayaks were great though and we enjoyed our paddle and were happy to reach the beach in Marahau with our pickup waiting for us. Thanks for a great day!

• 5Best kayak tour and company

  R and R is a jewel in the crown amongst local kayak companies. Arrived in Marahau late and left query on line for a booking next day. Zak rang back quickly and gave a really helpful explanation of the tours available. We booked a half day kayak guided tour which was BRILLIANT. Off the back of Zac's general guidance and help on the best local sights, beaches , walks etc we stayed on an extra few days. The Water taxi to Anchorage and walk back is highly recommended! Would 100% recommend everyone visiting Marahau uses this company!!

About Marahau

Marahau is a small coastal village at the southern gateway to Abel Tasman National Park, with golden beaches, clear water and sea kayaking.

Marahau lies on Tasman Bay at the top of New Zealand's South Island, where the Abel Tasman Coast Track begins. This 60 km walking route is one of New Zealand's Great Walks, and it follows a shore of golden beaches, granite headlands and native forest. The village itself is tiny, with a handful of cafés, cabins and a store at the start of the track, about 65 km from the city of Nelson.
