The highlight of our summer holidays was definitely our kayaking trip to Mutton Cove where we got to stay one night.
We started at Tata beach in Golden bay and set off across the Wainui Inlet. Unfortunately the swell started to get up and it got a little scary! But a short rest on the first beach was excellent.
Ben resting on the beach - waiting for the waves to calm down.
We got to see quite a bit of wildlife. Out to sea opposite Whariwharangi beach we watched a seal thrashing an octopus about.

A little further on we spotted a little penguin.
The small dot in the water is a penguin!
Around separation point we saw a lot of seals
And the seals watched us!!

We were reminded how fortunate we are living so close to Abel Tasman Park. Andy had fun taking a few photos around Kaiteriteri – only 25 minutes away!

Abel Tasman, Family trips
We took a weekend get away to Marahau (The entrance to Abel Tasman national park) We stayed in the Barn campsite (can definitely recommend it) and with such a short walk to the beach we spent most of the time playing in the water.
Even Honey was keen to have a surf!!

Abel Tasman
Recently Karen was fortunate enough to take a flight over Abel Tasman. She took off at Motueka airport and spent the next hour and a half marvelling our local national park from an elevated view! 
We flew over the park and then along Golden Bay. We briefly flew down the the West Coast and back flying above the Wainui Inlet. The next sight was the Fairwell Spit before flighing home to Motueka.
I t was a once in a lifetime experience and truly AWESOME!!
