Time for another kayaking trip! We took the water taxi to Medlands Beach and from there we kayak south back to Kaiteriteri

Torrent Bay with Ballon Rock (the rock with the few trees on it)

I look ridiculous with that hat

Torrent Bay Estuary, here we go as far west as possible (which was rather difficult with the low tide)

After parking the kayak we did the 15 minute walk to Cleopatra’s Pool

It’s rather busy here today

Back to Torrent Bay, tide is a lot higher now

Good times

Torrent Bay Estuary

Armchair Island in Anchor Bay

Watering Cove

Can you see the thirsty elephant?

Split Apple Rock

I couldn’t decide which side to post a photo of so posted both

Wharariki Beach

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
