Right picture this, a national park along a magnificent coastline with pristine beaches, seals frolicking in the surf and amazing islands dotted up the shoreline... now think the only way to get there is either by kayak or on foot... So we rented a kayak and headed along the coast visiting remote beaches and exploring the sea with some rather intriguing swell at times that made you respect the sea and its power! So after a day of paddling and working through the swell - well done GI Katie - we made it to the hut in the forest where we were to spend the night with our fellow travellers and a few local mice! In the morning we left early to hunt the sun rise and found an awesome beach that faced the oncoming glory and watched the sun rise in all its splendour - it is in these moments where you know there must be a creator!
So anyhow, the paddle in was fabulous and the 11km walk out was also spectacular as you walk home along the coastal track and admire the view from the top on your way back to civilization.... all in all a truly memorable experience and a real highlight of our New Zealand exploration.
