Kahu kayaks

Kahu kayaks was amazing. The team were so friendly and helpful and the experience itself was 10/10. Couldn’t have asked for a better day. Couldn’t recommend them enough.

Would recommend!

Nice atmosphere, amazing views and great experience! Coming back on kayak was diffucult due to wind and waves, you need to keep in mind that you're on the sea.

Great day on the water!

Our one day freedom kayak rental from Kahu Kayaks was great. Booking was easy, everything was in order when we arrived, and Sydney did a great safety briefing and gave us some ideas on where to paddle. She was at the beach when we returned too. The weather was perfect and the kayak and equipment were in great shape. All around a great day in the park.

Unforgettable Kayak Experience in Abel Tasman

We had such a fantastic experience renting kayaks here! The equipment was in excellent condition, the booking process was smooth and easy, and the staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. They gave us clear instructions, great safety tips, and helpful recommendations for the best routes to explore. Paddling through the crystal-clear water, past golden beaches and seals, was absolutely unforgettable. I would highly recommend this rental service to anyone wanting to experience Abel Tasman from the water – it’s an absolute must-do!
