Exciting! I have kayaking planned for the coming week too, but only a beginner tour in Abel Tasman 😆
That's the very first sea kayaking trip I did actually, in a rented double. It's a beautiful place to paddle, I've been there three times now.
I've done plenty of messing around in kayaks in my years, but never anything too physical and never a tour, so I'm looking forward to it. I hope my arms can handle it, it's probably been 10 years since I was last in a kayak!
The distances in Abel Tasman are pretty small, so you'll probably be OK. Do you know what boat you will be paddling?
Not sure, but I am sure I will be fine. It's for beginners after all, I'd guess we will go at a pretty leisurely pace. I like the think I'm not that unfit, so I'm sure Illness handle it OK though I might have sore arms the next day.
