Kia Ora!
Abel Tasman National Park is New Zealand's smallest national park - but it's perfectly formed for relaxation and adventure.
This is an easily-accessible coastal paradise. You can choose to explore the park from land, on the water, or in the air.
Whilst summer is a popular time to visit, locals believe that the shoulder seasons are actually the best time to explore the park.
Access & Accommodation:
The park is accessible from Marahau and Kaiteriteri in the South, and from Golden Bay and Totaranui in the North.
There are comfortable private lodges at Awaroa and Torrent Bay. The Department of Conservation (DOC) provides huts along the Coastal Track and standard huts on the inland tracks. Various types of accommodation can be found at the southern and northern ends of the park.
