Abel Tasman National Park

New Zealand’s smallest National Park is named after Dutch explorer Abel Janzoon Tasman, who sighted land here in 1642. Ridiculously beautiful – azure waters, golden sands and verdant bush, make this a paradise for exploration, by foot, kayak, water taxi and boat – or a combination of all of these. Half day to multi-day trips staying in campsites, huts or beachfront lodges, you will love making your way around the coast, from bay to bay, swimming in the crystal clear waters. And when those legs get tired, why not returns in a water taxi? Paradise.
