protecting our
beautiful coastal paradise

We have a very special place here. The Abel Tasman National Park is a profoundly beautiful coastal paradise that has been enjoyed by many cultures over many centuries.

It is an environment that we share with many life forms on both land and sea. As we protect and enhance the Abel Tasman’s natural balance, we guard its soul. We hope you are inspired to take something special away from us to share in your environment
back home.

Our guide, Des, was very easy going but thorough and made us feel relaxed but safe. We had great chats and laughs. This was a stunning part of the part of the world that we feel lucky to have experienced

There`s a rhythm to it after the first few strokes - paddle dips, blade catches, kayak glides.

That`s the point a trip stops feeling like a technique and starts feeling like just moving through the water.

Day one of a park start trip looks simpler than people expect.

A briefing at Marahau, a water taxi into the park, kayaking for the rest of the day, then pitching your tent at the end of the day.

Curious what day one actually looks like? It`s in the video.

Kaka, Tūi and bellbird, flitting through the bush before the rest of the park wakes up.

First light on the Coast Track sounds like this - no traffic, no chatter, just birdsong doing most of the talking. Worth being up for.

Early starts have their reasons.

There`s a particular kind of quiet that settles in once the tent`s up and the kettle`s on.

What`s your version of switching off?
