Compared to most of New Zealand’s coastal waters, Golden Bay and Tasman Bay are relatively calm. This makes the region an ideal spot for exploring the coast by kayak. Given the amazing geological formations along the coast, such as yesterday’s Tonga arches and the famous Split Apple Rock, it’s a great way to see some interesting stuff. Then there’s the wildlife, from lazy New Zealand fur seals to apparently unfazed sea birds. Pull your kayak up on remote golden sand beaches and watch the clear waters lap gently on the shore. For visitors to the area, a number of tourism companies hire kayaks with both guided and unguided options on offer.
