A message from Jack Kelly, owner of Abel Tasman Kayaks:

Abel Tasman Kayaks was established in 1986, realising a vision to bring visitors into the glorious Abel Tasman National Park. Sea kayaking is such a unique, low impact way to explore the beautiful golden beaches, peaceful coves and lagoons, offshore islands, wildlife and the native forest fringing our granite coastline! This innovation becam

e an instant hit with visitors to the area, and saw the growth and development of Abel Tasman Kayaks into one of the leading kayak operations in the world. Over the years we have merged Kiwi Kayaks and Southern Exposure into our business. We have continued to lead the way with a strong commitment to high safety standards and experienced guides with incredible passion and extensive local knowledge of the park. As the owner of Abel Tasman Kayaks, I feel privileged to have our team introduce this beautiful place that we call home. A Message from our Guides
"It doesn’t feel like work guiding in this beautiful environment, more like a day out with great friends. Our love of adventure and people you will find invigorating."

Onetahutui

The name has been analysed by Peart to mean ‘to run hurriedly (tahuti) along the beach (one)”. However, it seems much more likely to be a composite of one-tahu-ti. Tahu means to burn or cook, and ti is, the cabbage tree. One of the potential meanings is that cabbage trees were burnt on the beach as signals or as food. However, the problem is that there are no cabbage trees (ti kouka) present anywhere in the eastern part of the Park. Source Project Janzoon.

Koro (Grandfather) and Kuia (Grandmother) our water taxi names reflect our desire to share and tell stories of the Abel Tasman. The Abel Tasman National Park may have been gazetted as a national park in 1942 but its history dates back at least 700 years.
