Your journey begins at Kiwi Journeys HQ in Nelson City. From there, enjoy a scenic 60-minute shuttle to Kaiteriteri Beach—famous for its golden sands and crystal-clear waters.
After a short safety briefing, you’ll set off on a guided kayak tour with Kaiteri Kayaks. Paddle your way to the iconic Split Apple Rock, spotting native wildlife and soaking in the breathtaking coastal views. Midway, relax with a picnic lunch on one of the park’s secluded golden-sand beaches before returning to shore.
Afternoon Pedal the Great Taste Trail
After your morning on the water, it’s time to hop on a bike and hit the trail!
Ride at your own pace from Kaiteriteri along the stunning Great Taste Trail, passing through Riwaka, Motueka, Lower Moutere, and Tasman. This self-guided cycling route offers panoramic views, picturesque stops, local cafes, and charming rural scenery.
Your journey ends at the vibrant Mapua Wharf, where you’ll drop off your bike and have time to explore the wharf’s galleries, boutique shops, restaurants, cafes, a wine bar, and a local craft brewery.
