Reviews of R&R Kayaks Abel Tasman
V. S.
We had a great time with R&R Kayaks. The team was absolutely professional, caring and polite. Hats off to our guide Tom !! for taking extra care of us as we were struggling to get a head start into the ocean. Tom was very patient , took time to teach us the nuances and steered us through !! The trip was awesome !!! Thank you Tom and Thank you R&R Kayaks. Great team !!!!!
We will be back again !!!!
H. P.
Great group—strongly recommend. Friendly service, well-prepared, informed of the sport and the area. We did the Split Rock tour as a family of 4 with a 7 year old and 11 year old. It was the perfect length for us. Enjoyed the time on the water, seeing Split Rock up close, and casual time on the beach.
Consider: morning outings are likely better for kids, as afternoon winds tend to be strong.
j. S.
I am gonna write a very fresh review, as I just finished our half day trip. It was wonderful, especially for the family. We were told by other companies,they don’t take young kids. We were lucky to find R&R, they have the family tour specific for the little ones. Today’s tour ended up with so much excitement and everyone enjoyed. My little girl kinda started to love paddling a bit. And she tried to tidy the transport van up afterwards.
B.
Highly recommend R&R Kayaks!!! They went above and beyond to get me out on the water as a solo traveller. Had an awesome morning paddling in the stunning Abel Tasman with guide Tom. He is super knowledgeable and made it a memorable experience. Seeing the park from a kayak really is a must do in the area. Couldn't have asked for a better experience, thanks team!
S. M.
From A-Z absolute quality, personal service and can 100% recommend. We did the oar-some marine reserve trip and really enjoyed seeing the bays and lagoons around Abel Tasman. We saw heaps of seals and even a penguin! Our guide Tom was so capable and knowledgeable about the history and nature of the area which we really appreciated. Lunch was filled croissants, fruit and some slice plus tea and coffee which went down a treat.
R.
We had such an amazing day on our Oar-some trip with R&R kayaks and our guide Jazz. From booking stage, communication was excellent. Rohan answered our questions promptly and even allowed us to change our booking day to avoid kayaking on the day Cyclone Dovi swept NZ. Rohan also allowed pick-up from our accommodation in Motueka. From the beginning to the end, our guide Jazz really looked after us and made us feel safe and comfortable. She is professional, fun, friendly and knowledgeable. The lunch was excellent. There were vegan croissants, fruits, caramel slices for dessert and also tea/hot chocolate/juice/coffee. The equipment is high-quality and easy to use. They also allowed us to modify our kayak time to finish slightly earlier due to another plan that we had. The kayaking pace and sightseeing just hit the spot and very doable even for beginners. We got lucky that R&R allowed us to modify so many things on our trip, mainly because we came during quiet season. However, even if your trip is during peak season, I have no doubt that they'll do their best to address your concerns and make you feel at ease. Hands down the best kayak group with the best value for money that I could recommend in the area. Thanks R&R team.
C. T.
Great trip all round! We did the 3 day kayak trip, with a group of 11 and R&R were so helpful!! All the tips needed on packing, great beaches and spots to see, safety and paddling help. All necessary gear provided, and little extra miles like letting us charge our phones in the office and hold onto our car keys etc. SUCH a beautiful part of the country would recommend to anyone, and these guys definitely topped it off with hot showers at the end 🙌🏼
A. J.
Had an amazing overnight trip, everything was super well organized, the tour itself was gorgeous, Tom and Rohan were both amazing, nothing but smiles all around the entire time 🤙
B. C.
Amazing day! Went for the self guided single day kayak.
We’ve done sea kayaking before but never self guided. After our morning briefing we felt fully prepped and confident to head out on our own and navigate from beach to beach to island and back again. From following the staffs guidance we managed to see loads of seals, plenty of fish and sting rays at low tide. All the equipment was great. Would highly recommend!
S. M.
I decided to do the southern duo trip with R&R kayaks - the experience was amazing! right from the point of booking, talking to Zach on the phone to kayaking out and seeing baby seals with Tom! everything was so smooth and easy. The team know their stuff about the area and in my case Tom was so passionate about what he did, it made the experience that much more better. His knowledge on the flora and fauna of the area and it's general history was really awesome! I would recommend going with R&R, the tours are definitely worth it and the people are amazing!
W. D.
My family and I loved R&R Kayaks Abel Tasman, It was fun, educational
and exciting. We were very lucky to get Rosco, he taught us everything we needed to know to be safe. All the needed equipment for comfort was there. The Kayaks were all very high quality and easy to use. The Kayaks all had pedals where we could steer with making it much easier to turn.
D.
R&R kayaks were fantastic, our kayak trip was moved because of a storm and they had great communication and flexibility to ensure we could still go. Our guide (Jazz) was fantastic and made it a great day for us. Even when out on the water she was flexible with how we used our day trip and where we could go.
Would recommend R&R to anyone looking to kayak in the area.
A. R.
Awesome experience for our family a trip to split apple rock, swimming & picnic.
Highly recommend and would definitely use again sometime. Our boy's and us had a great time. Guide Brett and the owner were both excellent and brilliant with us. thanks very much.
P. M.
We did the full day guided kayaking trip with R&R and had the best experience. This trip was the highlight of our week away. We have never kayaked before, but that wasn't a problem. It really was a fantastic experience being so close to the water and seeing how crystal clear it was. Seeing all the seals, stingray and birdlife. The lunch stop was fantastic with fabulous food and coffee. A real treat.
Rohan was super accommodating allowing us to change days and Tom our guide was so enthusiastic, knowledgeable and passionate about kayaking in the area. Really appreciated the excellent Maori pronunciation too as other tour companies are definitely lacking in this area. I would HIGHLY recommend doing a guided tour with R&R. We are so glad we did it.
m. p.
Must do experience in the Abel Tasman. Our Guide Tom was very knowledgeable and friendly. All the gear supplied was great. Definitely recommend!! The facilities were great and hot showers are available after the tour. Thanks R & R Kayaks!
A. L.
We did a family trip 2 days ago with 2 x 15 year olds and a 12 year old. Fantastic trip. Excellent guide Roscoe who was very knowledgeable and he kept the kids going when they got tired. Great value for money. Highly recommend it.
J. W.
Well run tour, highly professional and great guides (thank you Tom). Can’t fault a thing — perfect! Thanks team.
S. C.
Absolutely awesome trip - we kayaked around Adele Island; thoroughly enjoyed the great weather and marine life. Really appreciated our helpful and enthusiastic guide Tom, who made the outing more interesting with facts about the area and wildlife. Would highly recommend R&R Kayak!
R.
We hired kayaks for the day and did our own thing and it was awesome! Couldn’t recommend highly enough. The staff were so friendly, accomodating and relaxed. Was the highlight of our Christmas for sure and will definitely be back next summer.
H. M.
Great experience all round. Hired the kayaks for 3 days for a large group of 11. The staff were friendly and well organised. The briefing was informative and the hot showers at the end topped it all off. Cheers team will definitely recommend!
C. M.
We had a great tour with our guide Craig. Paddling along the coast seeing lots of wildlife and seals! Craig spins a lot of yarn with stories and jokes which was a good time. Already planning another trip next year and will definitely book in with R&R again. Would highly recommend you check the team out if you’re looking for a great local company to book with, super friendly and knowledgeable - thanks guys!
T. R.
My wife and I went on the half day guided tour with her sister and partner and had a great time. The views that you see are beautiful and the paddling over to split rock was easy as you are taking in all the views and not paying attention to the effort it takes. The guide Tom was great and had plenty of details to provide on the way. Thanks for giving us a great and enjoyable time. We will definitely be back for future adventures.
S.
Highly recommend r&r ! Awesome people, very prepared, top tier set up. Makes for a great day out exploring able tasman 👌🏽 cheers !
C. E.
R&R Kayaks run amazing tours! Catering for all levels of experience and made sure we all had an amazing trip! They even looked after our dog for us while we were out on the water!
f. n.
Wonderful team and beautiful experience in Abel Tasman 🙂 I did the Oar-some Marine Reserve and it will be one of my best experience in NZ. I highly recommend this family and professional company in Marahau. Elodie
H. M.
Split Apple Paddle - top marks. Guide Tom is a star, had good, informative history of the area too. Lunch was nice, too thanks. Really pleased I did the trip. Would go again, thanks very much.
A. M.
We did the Marine Reserve guided tour from Onetahuti to Anchorage Bay from R&R Kayaks. Our guide for the day was Aaron and he was awesome. He really knew his stuff, looked after us well and was very chill. We saw baby seals, stingrays and even a penguin, thnsk to his sharp eyes :P He also took us around some beutiful estuaries.
We were a bit apprehensive about the trip, since we didn't have much experience on a sea kayak, but the kayaks were very steady and reliable and we weren't as tired as we thought we'd be. Aaron was very patient with us. We took a few breaks to grab snacks and have a swim.
All in all a really special and safe way to explore the Abel Tasman. Thanks Aaron! :)
J. T.
We opted for the full day kayak with water taxi into and out of the park. An amazing day with a brilliant guide Tom and a must do for people staying close to Marahau. Catered lunch, fresh water at every beach and incredible views throughout...
D. D.
Had a one day independent day kayaking, the thorough, friendly professional briefing, the pick up/drop off, the equipment, every detail - seriously 100%. Cannot fault & highly recommend. Thank heaps for our awesome day!!
P.
“A small company with a big heart” that is for sure.
I had an amazing day out with R&R Kayaks. I did a full day kayak from Onetahuti to Anchorage via Tonga Island. With the high tide we were able to go through all the beautiful and peaceful lagoons which I probably would have missed had I just rented a kayak. We saw seals, penguins, gannets and a rich bird life. Tom, the tour guide had a great energy and had a lot of anecdotes about the fauna and flora. He definetly is passionate and experienced about kayak and his love for the area is obvious. I was lucky to be part of a small and friendly group, the advantage of choosing a smaller kayak operating company over of the bigger ones. Rohan, the owner was really friendly and super accommodating. He also has plenty of experience under his belt.
On the full day trip, lunch is provided. We had a delicious croissant sandwich (I am French I should know haha), a piece of cake, a sweet slice and a fruit. Cold and hot drinks were also on the menu, coffee, hot chocolate, tea or juice. Water isn't provided but there is filtered water available at the stops.
It was a great way to finish a multi-day hike. Thank you.
D.
I took a full day guided tour with R&R, and strongly recommended that you do the same. Rossco, my guide was informative, supportive and bloody good laugh. You would be missing out on so much local knowledge (and a decent lunch) if you go out without a guide.
A. K.
Awesome day on the water thanks to the team! We took the paradise islands tour and enjoyed every minute of it!
J. N.
We had an awesome day out with Jas. Such a knowledgable, friendly and fun guide. Saw stingrays, seals and one little blue penguin. R&R Kayaks run a well oiled operation. The team is helpful and accommodating. We had two days on the water and couldn't have had a better time.
C. E.
We did their half day tour with lunch. It was wonderful, the guide was a really nice guy and very attentive to ensuring we were safe, informed and had a great time. Thankyou I would strongly recommend this Company, the scenery was awesome too.
F. V.
Awesome day trip in the Abel Tasman, even with some rain! The team were amazing with us, good explanation of the different places to go and equipment. Thanks to Brat, Tom, Rohan and all the team for that nice day!
N. B.
Excellent team with great trips. We booked a half-day southern explorer tour which brought us to the seal-sanctuary & along the cost. Really good trip with a good gide, good material and absolutely worth it. We can truly recommend it.
Make sure that you have a water taxi drive included at least one way, otherwise you will hardly get into the beautiful spots of the park (some operators suggest you can start paddling up and down in half a day which is impossible if you dont go kayaking regularly).
G. L.
Redeemed a Chuffed voucher for the Split Apple Rock kayak, but topped it up to join the Southern Duo (as recommended by Rohan): a two-hour guided sea kayak (with Mark) to Adele Island to see the seal colony, lunch at Observation Bay, and a 8.8-km walk back to Marahau.
S.
My 4-year-old daughter and I took a half-day guided tour to the Split Apple Rock with R&R Kayaks a couple of days ago while exploring the area. The communication with the company was great both online and in person, we were on a small tour with only one more couple, our guide Zach was well organised, funny, knowledgeable and willing to go in our (very slow) pace. I would recommend R&R Kayaks to anyone thinking of a kayaking tour or a freedom rental in beautiful Abel Tasman National Park.
C. G.
Absolutely recommend going through R&R kayaks to organise your trip of the Abel Tasman. So easy to deal with, Rohan the owner, guides Jaz and Brett were great. Enjoy!
L.
We had the most amazing experience kayaking for the first time. Our guide Mark made the trip a safe and enjoyable one 🙂.
R. L. I.
Great activity for the whole family (kids 8 & 9)! Long enough to get the feel of kayaking, but not too exhausting for the kids. Tom was a great, enthusiastic guide with lots of information about the surroundings. Definitely recommend this :)
C. G.
Amazing & bubbly people who helped us feel capable & safe to head out kayaking for our first time while providing some laughs along the way! Would 100% recommend to anyone.
P. B.
We had the best time with our guide Jake on a one day trip. Lots of stories, history & jokes as we paddled along the beautiful NZ coastline. The weather was a little bit of everything, but it didn’t matter we had a fun time.
Would highly recommend you check these guys out. Very knowledgeable and friendly.
A. W.
Excellent first class service. My wife and I did two full day tours and from being picked up at the start of the day and dropped at the end everything was customer focused.
The owners, guides and all staff are friendly, knowledgeable and thoughtful. The best settings for wholesome lunches with plunge coffee.
We would not hesitate recommending them to anyone and fingers crossed we'll get the chance to book again in the future.
The highlight of our trip so far.
E. C.
My first kayak experience in NZ and definitely great one. We had a perfect day and lots of fun. Great instructions and preparation before you start. Highly recommend!
P. W.
MUST DO! Had the most amazing day adventuring around Abel Tasman. Staff were super friendly and helpful.
C. R.
Took a relatively quick bus ride from Nelson for a fair price. Had a fantastic time kayaking around the islands with Jazz. I was able to stay in the park overnight and was able to take a bus back a day later with no extra fee like some of the other companies charge.
D.
We had fantastic half day kayak experience - great for noobies or experienced. Jas is an excellent, knowledgable and fun guide.
Helpful friendly service from a great team.
M.
Fantastic experience with R&R kayaks - very reasonable rental prices and great people. I'd highly recommend these guys if you are looking to kayak the Abel Tasman.
D. B.
Hands down the best kayaking business in the Abel Tasman! You get the best service and the best gear! Ro and his team will make sure you have an awesome time! Thanks for a fantastic day on the water
A.
Rohan & Jaz made our experience very pleasant with some ladies not experienced. Their equipment was well maintained and pickup was easy.
N. A.
Very cool experience! Not scary at all and the views were so beautiful. We had Jake and he was so nice and patient.
S. M.
Rohan and his team are extremely responsive and accomodating. We had an awesome experience with R&R and recommend to everyone wanting to explore the Abel Tasman :)
T. I.
We did a two day hike / kayak tour. Super friendly staff, well organised, clean & safe... recommended to take the option with sleeping on the Aqua Lodge :-)
n. p.
We had such a great experience with R&R Kayaks. It was our first time sea kayaking and they made us feel very comfortable. The induction was not only informative but also fun. They also helped us with any questions we had on the track (as we we re walking the rest of the Abel Tasman after dropping the kayaks), let us leave our car there, and there were showers when we finished. The water taxi also dropped us off right next to their site at the end. Staff were so friendly and helpful.
A must do if you are in the area; highly recommend!!!
G. K.
We had a fantastic full day tour with Zac who was a great guide, very knowledgeable and informative with a very easy nature which put everyone at ease. The equipment is great quality and the safety briefing was detailed. The scenery is stunning and theres lots of wildlife to see, we especially got a buzz from the seals who even swam around the kayak and put on a bit of a show. A memorable day and we would definitely like to come back, and would highly recommend this family run business.
Z. S.
Such an amazing guided day tour with R&R! We had everything explained clearly and were completely at ease about our lack of experience. Our guide Tom had an incredibly deep knowledge of and passion for the area. As we cruised through the beautiful Astrolabe and around Adele and Fisherman islands he told us all about the seals, birds, trees, geology and history. So much fun, amazing lunch, would highly recommend and can’t wait to come back ourselves.
D.
We had a wonderful full day kayak trip as a family of 4 with a 13yo and 11yo. Our guide Zach was professional, knowledgable, and fun. The included lunch was great, including for our gluten-free family member. We loved supporting a small Kiwi business and would thoroughly recommend.
O.
Absolutely friendly and helpful service all up. Highly recommended. Saw all kind wildlife on their kayak tour
P. M.
What a beautiful two day kayak tour. R&R staff and guides are very nice, helpful and professional. As one person you are not allowed to kayak alone at the Abel Tasman. So I asked many companies and R&R did a two day trip for my. On the first day I was kayaking with the guide Sally in a small group. It was a day tour from Onetahuti. You start in Marachau with the Watertaxi and going up there. Then kayaking from Onetahuti to Anchorage. We see two sealcollonies with baby seals. Then they book a DOC Campingplace at Anchorage for my. You can also book a Waterhostel if you want. At Anchorage they recommend a short walk up to the hill to a beautiful lookout, that I did on my own. The second day you go for a 30 min walk to Covering Bay where the second day of kayaking started at 12:30 pm. It's a half day trip. You have enough time to pack your gear in the morning, enjoying the beach and going to the meeting point. Look for the sign at the middle of the beach. There is the way to the meeting point. You get lunch. And you take food for first day dinner and second day breakfast. On second day we kayak from Watering Cove to Marahau also in a small group. I was waiting for good weather so I booked the day before without problems, but it's better to book early. Every kayak is a two person kayak. So you get another person for kayaking or you kayak with the guide. After the trip they take you back to R&R, where you can park you car. Thanks Patryk! For more recommendation look at TripAdvisor. ;-)

We loved our long weekend in the Abel Tasman and it was made easy and stress free with R&R kayaks. They were super helpful and responsive in the lead up to our trip, and went above and beyond with airport transfers, bakery stops and tips for our kayak journey :) It was very handy getting our water taxi organised by R&R with great equipment and friendly staff. Would 100% recommend booking a trip with R&R and experiencing Abel Tasman by kayak.
A. W.
A big thanks to Rohan and the team at R&R Kayaks for making the process so easy! We were a group of four who opted for the 2-day freedom kayak option, confident kayakers but the brief and set up process was great if you still had a couple of lingering nerves about doing it unguided. We were unlucky and had average weather but again kudos to the team who talked us through our options on how to get the most out of our kayak experience and altered our plan with us to avoid the bad conditions that would have made it pretty hard going. Big bonus points for helping us with our gear storage too!
If you are looking for a team that has great local knowledge, is committed to getting the best experience out of the kayaks for you and have a laugh along the way, R&R Kayaks is the place to go.
PS the seals were awesome. Definitely worth doing at least a day of kayaking to get up close with these beautiful creatures.
D. B.
Booked a couple of months ahead. Excellent communication and good local insight helped us plan our trip.
Good briefing from Zak. We had a problem with one of the kayaks on the first evening. Rohan was out first thing the next morning with a replacement. Great service.
Highly recommend these guys as friendly and professional.
S. G.
We had an amazing experience with these guys. There service is outstanding, very professional and we learned a lot about sea kayaking. The owner is a champ, very knowledgeable and friendly. The equipment and safety brief were super good. Highly recommended, especially if you want to support a small family owned business.
F.
Last minute decision to spend an afternoon kayaking on our final day in Marahau and these guys couldn’t be more accommodating. Zac- our instructor- was amazing and informative. For those of us who hadn’t kayaked in a while - we were put at ease. We then set out and had a fantastic few hours exploring Split Apple Rock and some of Tasman’s stunning bays! Highly recommend R & R Kayaks - would definitely book with them again. Thanks guys!
A. R.
We had a fantastic experience with R&R Kayaks last week. Not only did we Kayak with them, but they organised for our group of 9 to be collected from Nelson airport, water taxi was also booked for the end of the walk, and then returned to Nelson airport. I could not recommend this organisation highly enough in comparison to other experiences in the Nelson region.
W.
Great experience! Had so much fun :)
Our guide, Tom* from the UK was awesome!
d. v. E.
Great experience kayaking the Abel Tasman during the summer of 2021 with R&R. They had a warm welcome, great advice and refreshing showers after. Thank you for our trip. Hopefully see you again. Highly recommend a multi day trip for any local or traveler. Best, From us
S.
We absolutely Ioved our trip.
We did the half day family tour to observation beach. Was our first time in able tasman. Also our first time kayaking with our 10 year old son. Our tour guide was amazing, he made the whole experience so much better. Had a great sense of humor and great with children. From booking to the end everything was so easy and stress free. We will be back to experience longer trips next time.
Thank sam
E. R.
This was a a huge check off the New Zealand bucketlist. R&R Kayaks found me a tour after my other one was canceled with another company, which was amazing with such short notice.
Tom was my guide and he had enthusiasm throughout the entire tour. He was full of knowledge of the area, history and culture and keen to share, as well engaged with with the group.
Could not have asked for a better tour!
Y. M. T.
Had a very great day with Tom, the awesome guide. What a funny guy, haha. Managed to spot some seals, two penguins and some native birds.
J.
Excellent place to rent a kayak, get the low down on the area, and have a great adventure. Loved every minute. Thanks team.
N. M.
We had a fantastic family group experience with R &R kayaks this xmas! Our group consisted of 4 adults, a 7 year old and an 18 month old. Rohan and his team were super obliging and made things work for us - making regular checks of the weather so we’d have the best experience possible! They catered to our groups plant based dietary needs and our guide was awesome. I’d highly recommend them to others!
D. B.
Not to be missed! Family business, excellent customer service & an awesome guide (really knowledgeable and enthusiastic). If you’re on a guided tour you get a lunch. Since I’m vegan, I was expecting a lettuce wrap or something.. however... I got a delicious tofu & falafel sandwich, bliss balls, coffee, juice...The works!! Most definitely will come back and bring others!
G.
There are only a few things I feel like you have to experience at least once in our life and this is it (we did Magic in the middle guided kayak tour). Able to see the NZ nature at its finest and there would be no other place more peaceful. One of the best experiences we had in our lives!
Our guide Tom was fun, friendly, knowledgeable and full of passion. You name it and he has all the traits you would want to ask for in a guide. Also Rohan was very quick to respond to our enquiries. Loved every moment. Look forward to returning again in future with friends and family.
A. S.
We did the split apple rock half day tour with lunch and it was absolutely amazing! Our guide was awesome, very knowledgeable, made it easy and so much fun! Will definitely be back soon to rent and kayak on our own !!
S. K.
This one stood out from the rest online and now I see why. From the booking to finish everything was easy and professional yet maintaining a friendly, family feel to it. Rohan (owner greets you and makes you feel at ease). Tom, our guide, went that extra distance to ensure the wife and I enjoyed the tour (his Maori pronunciation is better than mine!) safe, well informed and fun we will definitely be doing this again with family and friends.
R.
Nice people, very professional. We felt confident with the kayak thanks to the instructions ! After 2 days kayaking and walking, we arrived a bit late but they let us take a quick shower. Thank you !
I recommend !
J. N.
We did the 2 day Kiwi Escape tour at the end of December 2017. Due to a mix up on the dates of the tour (entirely my fault), we ended up witnessing first hand how good Rohan and his team's customer service is. Thanks to the flexibility and helpfulness on their side, what could have been a disaster instead turned out even better than what we had originally planned.
The tour itself was fantastic, and we were treated to some fabulous close-up encounters with seals, one of which even decided to have a playful swim under and around our kayaks. Anchorage beach is a completely different place in the evening once the daytime crowds have left, and it was a brilliant place to spend the night. The kayaks and equipment were great, and were very new (couldn't have been more than a few months old). The meals provided were excellent, as was the camping equipment (it was all brand new).
Special mention also for our guide Kate, who was everything you could hope for in a guide - friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and just generally great fun. She really did make it something extra special.
Can't recommend this company enough.
L. F.
Thanks to the absolute legends at R&R for an epic trip from Observation Beach back to Marahau. Our guide Tom, what a guy! So much knowledge, and a real passion for the job.
After contacting quite a few companies Rohan was quick to respond providing a variety of options and couldn't have been more helpful.
Highly recommend this company if you can't decide. Get amongst it kiwis they need your support now more than ever!
a.
We enjoyed a professionally organized tour of half day trekking and half day kayak, with an initial drop off and return via water taxi and lunch included. The self-guided trek was well marked. Clean bathrooms were available before we began the kayaking. Lunch was acceptable, although could have been a bit more robust. Our kayak guide, Jazz, was informative and fun. Overall it was a bit pricey for the experience but the price was on par with other operators in the area. It seemed to be a more intimate operation as it's a smaller company than the larger outfits. We were pleased with the level of customer service.
M. D. B.
We had the best time out on the water today with these guys! So accommodating, knowledgeable and experienced - our minds were put right at ease with a toddler and child in tow. They even catered to our plant- based lunch requirements, couldn’t sing their praises enough thank you!!!!
T. G.
What a great half day to end the able tasman, with a kayak, saw some lovely seals and heard beautiful bird song. Our kiwi UK guide Tom showed his his enthusiastic kiwi knowledge, his manager Rohan provided great organization, organizing daily bag pick up really made the walk enjoyable , thank you for your great kiwi hospitality
T. L.
Fabulous, friendly crew doing it hard during Covid. Really pleased to support another great locally owned business
L. D.
Had an excellent experience with R&R. The sea kayaking experience was really fun. The guides are energetic and want to make sure you’re having a good experience. They were flexible in accommodating us by allowing us to change our itinerary to do the walk back on the Abel Tasman track. Lunch provided with the full day tour was excellent, and the free WiFi and outdoor showers were much appreciated at the end of the tour!
H.
Great kayak team. Enjoyed our kayaking. Definitely recommended...
C. D.
Excellent kayak tour with good quality equipment and very professional guides.
We opted for a kayak up to observation beach and walked back through the national park. The kayaking was beautiful and we felt safe and in good hands throughout. The walk way a very nice change of perspective and a break from working the arms.
R&R were professional and knowledgeable about the weather and how it can impact our tour. They were upfront with us about the possibility of tour cancellation should the weather deteriorate. Thankfully this didn't happen and we had a fantastic day out!

We took the whole day Kayaking. It was good as the north part of the shore doesn’t have free kayaking access, so the only chance to visit it is with a guide. Our guide was super nice, but she didn’t talked us about the park, she just brought us to the places. So it wasn’t what we expected for the cost of the activity.
We wouldn’t do it again for that price, as the shore where the free kayaking is allowed is also nice, and the cost is not that high.

We slept in too long and showed up after most of the tours had departed for the day. The owner was very nice and walked us through our remaining options for the day and was able to work us into the "Magic in the Middle" tour. It was a great tour. We got to experience the middle of the park, explore Bark Bay and a few lagoons, then kayak down wind for a few hours. Hannah, our guide, was awesome. Would definitely recommend R&R Kayaks (and that specific tour) for anyone wanting to check out Abel Tasman.
C. F. O.
Definitely the best! We did a three day kayaking tour and the team gave us first class service, lots of tips and fully equipped kayaks. Highly recommended! Thanks team for a wonderful experience!

As a paraplegic finding accessible kayaking is impossible, however RnR Kayaks gave me an adventuring spirit. Getting down the beach and kayaking were a lost dream....RnR had a can do attitude. A few transfer to kayak practices, onto tailors was easy! Great experience.... Back on the ocean, awesome experience... Great staff and pommy Tom is a dude. A million dollar experience for pennies.
Brilliant work guys, making our beautiful landscape avaliable for all. Being back out there again, brought a tear to an old surf life savings eye. Love your work, no barriers. Cheers.....

Absolutely friendly team, special thanks to Tom Clarke for making the kayak experience more informative session. The place drove us insane with it's beauty. Highly recommended for guided kayak👍
J. B.
I had a full day kayak tour and really enjoyed doing it with RR Kayaks! The guide was very friendly and provided plenty of interesting information on the Abel Tasman, its history and future. We had enough time to take our pictures of seals, birds and the beaches. We had Sandwiches and delicious cake and apples for lunch and even tea/ coffee. All in all, it was definitely worth the money.

R&R kayaks provides an intimate Abel tasman experience. We chose them because they are a smaller, family owned company. Our trip went for a full day kayak to observation beach. The schedule for the day was full, but allowed time to relax on the beach after a tasty homemade lunch and a swim. On the return trip, our guide brought out a sail. It was a new experience to sail in kayaks. Our guide was knowledgeable and engaging and the trip was rewarding.
L. S.
What an awesome experience! We booked the 2 day Kiwi escape tour and here are many reasons to pick this company: easy booking process, smooth check in, good equipment, great tour through the Abel Tasman Park with a lot of information about the area and history, yummy food. But the cherry on top was our guide Sara! She is a real gem and we enjoyed every minute with her.
T. K.
Excellent! So many options if you’re hiring a kayak without a guide so you can customize your journey. Very helpful information session, gear was perfect. 100 % recommended.
J.
Myself and my partner had the best time exploring the stunning Abel Tasman National Park with R&R Kayaks on a full day Oar-some Marine Reserve Kayak Tour. You get to see and do so much on this trip, visiting the park's 'must do' spots like Tonga Island, where you are pretty much guaranteed to see New Zealand fur seals. The tour includes kayaking in beautiful lagoons and a lunch stop at one of the park's many amazing beaches. We even managed to do some kayak sailing in the afternoon which is a really fun and unique activity. Our guide Ally was great so we definitely recommend the Oar-some Marine Reserve Tour and R&R Kayaks - it's the best way to see the best of Abel Tasman : )
M. M.
Absolutely loved the half day kayak with them. Very friendly and entertaining staff. Great efforts put in to keep the trip safe and informative. Kudos to the entire team
N.
We used the seasonal MTB shuttle service up the back of Kaiteriteri MTB park. Keegan was our awesome driver. This is really good value and makes for a great day riding. The climb up is hard enough, but on a really hot day it's notfun.. Great service.
D.
Took a brilliant tour from anchorage bay hut to Marahau: super friendly and knowledgeable guide, lovely stops for coffee and lunch, and the warm shower back at the base was very welcome after 5 days on the track! Would definitely recommend.
S. F.
We had an awesome trip today. Our guide Mike was fun and took really good care of us. It was our first time kayaking but we felt safe the whole time. Mike knows a lot about the area and the National Park so beside the kayaking we had a really informative and good time.
P. R.
It was a pleasure to do the Kayak tour here. The people who attended us are very warm, they gave us a lot of information so that the tour was perfect. It is highly recommended! The service was excellent.
A. B.
Fantastic day out kayaking. The tour guide was great with excellent knowledge of the area. Everything ran very smoothly and we would all love to come back next time.
I. A.
Had an awesome kayak experience. Jake was funny and amazing guide. The scenery was beautiful and we got to spend some time in nearly empty beach. Highly recommended!!
A. S.
One of the best tour experiences I’ve had, very organised and really helpful staff. Definitely the best option in Abel Tasman for kayaking. Our guide was Tom, who was very knowledgeable and really nice. Highly recommend (and they didn’t even ask me to write a review!).
J. M.
Always choose R&R!! Rohan and his guys Jake & Zak are legends. Kayak experience was amazing and they were really helpful with the water taxi arrangements and everything else. They were flexible and super nice to us (and trust me, we were getting way too annoying)
M.
Took a guided half day kayak with these guys. Everything about the the day was awesome, from advice about which trip would suit and weather forecast to booking and the way the trip was run. Great guide also. Thanks !
L.
If you’re looking for a quality kayak service look no further. The people at R&R are legends! They looked after us well and provided an unforgettable experience. Great showers too!
J.
Big thank you to the team at R&R Kayaks. They have an awesome setup with great guides and are also really good with the kids. We really enjoyed our day:)
J. P.
We hired kayaks for 2 days (self guided) then hiked for a day and a half which r&r kayaks helped us organise and gave us some good tips!
Professional briefing, good quality gear, a care for your safety with a quick check of your paddling skills and then away you go!
Highly recommended for self guided and I'm sure from the approach of the staff guided would be fantastic too!
d. m.
we‘ve had a wonderful time kayaking today, great equipment and the safety briefing was superb and taught us all we needed to know, we felt very safe and our guide zak was very helpful and knowledgeable, would absolutely recommend! thanks from team germany 🥳
a.
Friendly, professional vibrant company operating at the gateway to the Abel Tasman. Run by an awesome family with energetic, experienced guides all combining great passion for the national park. They really make you feel cared for and looked after, like your park experience is the most important thing in the world to them. We did it with kids and they loved it. You won't regret booking with r & r
R. C.
Welcoming and friendly staff.
Awesome experience for my 12 years old boy. Craig was professional, helpful and guided us exceptionally well. Thank you guys for the remarkable afternoon. We will be back . Marcell & Orsi
A.
My first kayak experience and it was definitely great! Weather was perfect so we had so much fun.
Thanks a lot for that exceptional experience😘
Highly recommended!
C. O.
Awesome, funny, experienced, relaxed and happy hosts.
Good people and great experiences here
J.
Had a great experience with R&R Kayaks. We hadn't booked anything and rocked up and managed to get the last couple of kayaks - they were really accommodating with exactly what we wanted to do and provided some good suggestions. Really friendly service, high level of expertise and good quality gear.
A.
We did a whole day tour which was simply awesome and well organized. Got picked up for free from Motueka at our campingground and headed to their office. Again super organized and quickly we were on a cruise to drive us up. Saw the splitt apple rock, some seals and then got dropped off at achorebay. From there we had a beautiful walk through the rain forest with a stop at a natural water slide and then headed tooberservation bay to take our kajak tour back. Our kajak guide craig was great fun and he told us a lot about the surrounding and animals. Can totally recommend this!!
G.
Such a great day! Our guide, Matt, was informative & funny. Saw plenty of seals & incredible scenery. All of the staff we came into contact to were friendly & had big smiles. Would highly recommend!
S. N.
I would just like to take the time to thank R&R as a whole for providing such great service within their company. Yesterday me and my friend had booked to take the kayaks out for the day from Marahau to Anchorage. However this didn’t go to plan as myself and my friend were a bit sea sick as it was quite choppy and we struggled more than we had imagined. We wanted to say a big shout out to Jake who was extremely patient with us both and who continually reassured us during our short time on the kayaks. He went above and beyond to help us and make sure we were ok. We only managed kayaking 2km to the first beach and Jake managed to sort that out for us. Jake truly is an asset to R&R. Thank you very much. From the two Scottish girls, Steph and Emma.
D.
You will not find a better Kayaking Experience anywhere It's been my good fortune to have seen this small family company grow into a major force in the South Island New Zealand Tourist scene. Their service is second to none -- quality equipment - experienced guides and oh what beautiful scenery. If your are planning a trip to NZ -- make sure you put R&R Kayaking on your list.
N. Y.
Excellent day out with Jazz, our guide who was super friendly and fun. We had an amazing day. Good quality equipment and professionally run. Recommended. Appreciated the hot showers available for after and free wi-fi.
A. V. T.
I've been there twice now. First time I went on an all day guided tour and second time we went out on our own. The guides are really helpful and full of facts about the area. The safety briefing is informative and tells you everything you need to know before going out in your own. Highly recommend if you want a unique way to explore Abel Tasman!
A. k.
My partner & I did the Kayak & bush walk tour (creme de la creme) & had such a great time, our tour guide was excellent & great value for the experience you get. Thank you!
J. T.
We went on the oar-some adventure and could not really see the value added when spending 220 dollars for water taxi transport and a different kayaking location instead of the 110 for a simpler trip in which the return transport was a walk. In the end, we would have rather taken the walk and saved the money. The trip itself was ok, but I wouldn't consider it a full day trip when it finished by 3 pm. Seeing the other positive reviews, this was a disappointment for us.
J.
We had Tom as our guide for the day, very helpful and was a very kind and friendly dude! The food we had was really good and the tour its self was really fascinating and great way to end our walk.
D.
This is a really great company that knows their business really well and go above and beyond. Not only I did an amazing tour with them (creme de la creme, highly recommended!) but also, Rohan, gave me a whole bunch of guidance and recommendations on other things to do (i.e best walk) and was so nice, patient and dedicated! Look no further, you are gonna get a lot of value!

K. R.
Rohan and our guide were amazing today! An amazing adventure for us and the kids. Thanks for everything! You guys are the best!
C.
Abel Tasman is really beautiful, the staff of this compagny is kind but I arrived at 8:30am, 30 min of waiting the other people, 2 hour of speaking for nothing, so start kayak at 11:00 am..It's ok but end time at 3:30pm so 85$ for 4:30 of kayak it's really to expensive. During all of my kayak time I was seeing the time for don't be late that mess one of the most incredible moment in new Zealand. The ending time of t je day was not written on the website so if you want to do Abel Tasman with this compagny take 2 day.
N.
Had an awesome time with our guide Jake, alot of information with a chilled fun vibe. Would definitely recommend, such amazing views from the water and breaks up all the walking! 🥰
J. K.
Awesome paddling experience!
Good equipment, great service and very friendly employees!
I really recommend you to book your paddling trip with this company, because it does not feel like a typical tourist attraction.
S. M.
Best kayaking experience ever! We did a full day tour along the park coast and little islands with two amazing guides and a complete service with lunch at the beach.. thank you!
R.
Very professional. They hook you up with all the necessary gear. If your an odd group of people they do have a few single kayaks to use. It gives you all the fredom to explore and chill out at private golden beaches or look at the seal colony!
L.
Wonderful knowledge of the area and ecosystem. The personal and friendly guide Ryan managed all the details efficiently and with a great sense of humour.
The creme de la creme was a perfect day trip for any level of skill. We saw Blue Penguins!!
S.
This company exceeded all our expectations of a two day guided tour of the Abel Tasman National Park by kayak. Very professional outfit, very knowledgeable guide and friendly staff. A big thumbs up th R&R Kayaks
S.
Great tour with a professional guide! I got a little seasick in the kayak but the guide could handle everything and was very flexible with my needs. Nice hot shower afterwards!
J.
Rohan at R and R kayaks was sublime, great service from him, clear communicator, and good fun! We met as aqquantices and departed as friends.

You would not bother going to any other Kayak business in the Abel Tasman. There is not enough stars to rate how professional and enjoyable time spent with R&R Kayaks is. Can't wait to return. Thanks Ro and Rets!
H.
Really good day with R&R Kayaks! The material is really good, everything is Ready and the team is great! Really good for beginners, good location, with good facilities: toiles, drinking water, hot shower and wifi. Good spot for travelers !

(Translated) We took three days of kayaking and two nights, the team advised us to do a night at watering cove, no regrets the beach was beautiful, with little location so there were only 2 of us on the beach! The next day we hiked a bit because the weather didn't allow us to kayak and then the next day we went kayaking to bark bay. The landscapes towards the end become a little tiresome, but nevertheless remain very beautiful!
(Original)
Nous avons prit trois jours de kayak et deux nuit, l’équipe nous a conseillé de faire une nuit a watering cove, aucun regret la plage était magnifique, avec peu d’emplacement donc nous étions que 2 sur la plage ! Le jours d’après nous avons fait un peu de randonnée car le temps nous permettait pas de faire de kayak puis lendemain nous avons fait du kayak jusqu’à bark bay. Les paysages vers la fin deviennent un peu lassant, mais reste néanmoins très beau !
M.
(Translated) We kayaked (good material) over two days with overnight at a campsite. The service includes a taxi boat ride, a guide from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and a picnic (sandwich, carrot cake, chocolate cake, fruit juice and hot drink) and a night camping (no showers). The second day is done in complete autonomy.
The place is beautiful, incredible landscapes! The nettles sometimes approach the kayak. Even if too expensive, it remains a very good way to discover the coast of the park.
(Original)
Nous avons fait du kayak (bon matériel) sur deux jours avec nuit dans un camping. La prestation comprend un trajet en taxi boat, un guide de 9h à 15h30 et un pique-nique (sandwich, carrot cake, gâteau au chocolat, jus de fruit et boisson chaude) et une nuit en camping (sans douches). Le deuxième jour se fait en parfaite autonomie.
L'endroit est magnifique, paysages incroyables ! Les ortaries s'approchent parfois du kayak. Même si trop cher, cela reste une très bonne manière de découvrir les côtes du parc.

(Translated) Had a wonderful day with R & R Kayaks today. Although I find the Abel Tasman National Park not very spectacular ... I was positively surprised by the professionalism and friendliness of R & R Kayaks. From check in to leaving the grounds. Everything perfect!!! And I am very strict about the evaluation of professionalism. There were free hot showers, free wifi. The clothes that were damp after kayaking were taken before the hike ... so we did not have to carry them along during the hike and they do not believe how great our wonderment was when we discovered our clothes hanging dry in the sun. That's a big movie. A team with a heart !!!!
(Original)
Hatten heute einen wunderbaren Tag mit R&R Kayaks. Auch wenn ich den Abel Tasman Nationalpark wenig spektakulär finde... war ich positiv überrascht von der Professionalität und Freundlichkeit von R&R Kayaks. Vom Check In bis zum Verlassen des Geländes. Alles Top!!! Und ich bin sehr streng was die Bewertung von Professionalität angeht. Es gab kostenlose heiße Duschen, freien Wifi. Die Kleidung die nach dem Kayak feucht waren wurden vor der Wanderung entgegen genommen... so mussten wir sie nicht während der Wanderung mitschleppen und sie glauben nicht wie groß unsere Verwunderung war, als wir unsere Kleider trocken in der Sonne fein aufgehängt entdecken. Das ist ganz großes Kino. Ein Team mit Herz!!!!
M.
(Translated) As the only local rental company they showed initiative and flexibility so that we could implement our plan. (kayak to Observation Beach and then water taxi further north). It turned out great. Great contact and organization. I would recommend! :)
(Original)
Jako jedyni z lokalnych wypożyczalni wykazali się inicjatywą i elastycznością, abyśmy mogli zrealizować nasz plan. (kajak do Observation Beach i potem water taxi dalej na północ). Wyszło super. Świetny kontakt i organizacja. Polecam! :)
A.
(Translated) Great team, very pros, accomodating and friendly! The guided tour of Abel Tasman was at the top, a sunny day in this little corner of paradise ... Very nice experience, a must. We had only half a day because the full day was full, but we would have continued a little more :) In any case, it was great!
(Original)
Super équipe, très pros, arrangeants et sympas! La visite guidée d'Abel Tasman était au top, une journée ensoleillée dans ce petit coin de paradis... Très belle expérience, un incontournable. Nous n'avions fait qu'une demie journée car la journée complète était full, mais on aurait bien continué un peu plus :) En tout cas, c'était bien top!

(Translated) Kayaking in Abel Tasman National Park was one of my highlights in NZ. Very good and new equipment. Instruction also good & detailed. And the Abel Tasman NP is of course a must-do.
Only just under $ 100 for Kayak & Walk not exactly a snapper, but that's the normal price.
(Original)
Kajak fahren im Abel Tasman Nationalpark war eines meiner Highlights in NZ. Sehr gutes und neues Equipment. Einweisung auch gut & ausführlich. Und der Abel Tasman NP ist selbstverständlich ein Must-Do.
Lediglich mit knapp 100$ für Kajak&Walk nicht gerade ein Schnapper, aber das ist hier der Normalpreis.
S.
(Translated) I went out "the cream of the crop" and I am very disappointed because I find it excessively expensive for the service. Even if the place is pretty pretty I find it expensive for 2 taxi boats and 2 hours of kayaking, because you have to know that the hiking part is done independently without a guide.
I advise you to do it yourself reserving the taxi boat it will cost you much less.
Also plan enough water because it is not supplied contrary to what I had said.
(Original)
J'ai fais la sortie " la crème de la crème " et je suis fortement déçue car je trouve excessivement chere pour la prestation.Meme si le lieu est jolie certe je trouve chere pour 2 taxi boat et 2h de kayak, car il faut savoir que la partie randonnée se fait en autonomie sans guide.
Je vous conseille de faire par vous meme en reservant les taxi boat ca vous coûtera bien moins chère.
Prévoyez egalement assez d'eau car elle n'est pas fourni contrairement a ce qu'on mavais dit.
