A moderate size town on the North coast of the South Island, and a great base to get into Able Tasman National park, where most of these pictures were taken. The trip was 1 days kayaking, a night in a hut (purpose built by the local council for walkers) then a 5 hour hike back to the water taxi pick up point.
We were all in 2 person sea kayaks, staying close to the coast line having a laugh with our guide, when he points out if were interested that there is a blue penguin about 10m off our starboard bow (front right hand side) watching us in between diving for fish.
The views from the sea and the coastal path are stunning and we were very lucky with the weather. As the weather in New Zealand can be very changeable. The street scene is Nelson, I also managed to get a pic of a seal leaping from a rock. The rest are on the way back to the pick up point.
