Today will be our last kayaking day. We had already done a trip from Kaiteriteri going north to Bark Bay, today it will be from Totaranui going south, again to Bark Bay. The following photo were taken in Awaroa Bay

Looks familiar somehow…

Here we are in the Awaroa Inlet

One of the beaches in Tonga Bay, the photos below are all from Tonga Bay as well

GPS track of today’s trip

And, of course, a video of today's kayaking

Another day of kayaking, we take the sea shuttle from Kaiteriteri to Bark Bay

Towers Bay

With its famous Split Apple Rock

Continuing north

Sandfly Bay

Falls River

And again

At the southern end of Frenchman Bay

This as well

Around the corner should be the Totara Rocks

Ah, yes, there they are

Torrent Bay again

Beautiful little beach just north of Ballon Rock

Ain’t she a beaut?

It’s so pretty here

The whiteness is almost blinding to the eye

Continuing our way south

Torrent Bay Estuary

Still in the Torrent Bay Estuary

We paddled as far as we could towards Cleopatra’s Pool, which is pretty much here at this foot bridge

A less than 10 minute walk takes us to Cleopatra’s Pool

Not very busy here today

At the western end of the beach at the Anchorage

That man has been following me all day

Abel Tasman, so beautiful it had to be named after a Dutchman

Our next stop is Adele Island

Nice eh?

I need a yacht!

But for now the kayak will do

A map of today’s trip, starting in Kaiteriteri, then a water taxi to Bark Bay and kayaking back to Kaiteriteri

 

And of course a movie
