Today almost all of us on the Topdeck trip decided to go kayaking and hiking in Abel Tasman National Park. The day started off pretty cold when we woke up and took a bus to the park, but by the time we hopped in our 2-person kayaks it was gorgeous and sunny. We kayaked around to see a famous split rock and some caves that we could paddle through.
After getting back to shore, we breaked for lunch and had some fun on a jungle gym and zip line before taking a boat to the location where we would hike. While on the boat we saw a handful of seals basking on a few rocks, and that was really exciting! There were baby seal pups playing in a little cove as well, gaining their confidence before taking the plunge into the exposed water.
We then hiked around for about 2 hours along beaches and up mountains to get better views of the water and scenery. Overall it was an amazing day and the pictures I have on my phone don't do NZ nature justice. You'll have to come to New Zealand to see it for yourself!
