[Paddlewise] Kayaking NZ

Hi Phil,  I can respond to your request with an enthusiastic endorsement of
the following folk in Abel Tasman National Park;

I paddled with them two summers past, and was impressed with their gear,
their approach to safety, and overall service.  From what I saw, they were
the best in the park.
I am a Kiwi, so am probably one-eyed, but Abel Tasman is one beautiful place
to kayak.  Don't expect to be alone on the water.  New Zealand is well and
truly on the back-packers route, and Abel Tasman is a favorite haunt.  For
my money it is preferable to Bay of Islands.
If you need more, let me know.

Regards, Peter Rattenbury, Wollongong, Australia.
