Highlights: This leisurely holiday includes three days of walking the Coast Track and two "free" days at beachfront lodges to explore, canoe, swim, kick back on the beach, or hike inland to see parts of the park most visitors miss when they walk the track in only three days. The Abel Tasman Track is rated as one of New Zealand's Great Walks and this tour is the most relaxing way to experience all the Abel Tasman National Park has to offer, including a scenic cruise along the coastline.

Day 1: Coastline cruise from Kaiteriteri to Totaranui. Walk north from Totaranui to Anapai Bay before heading south to the Meadowbank Homestead - Awaroa. Approx. 4 hours hiking.

Day 2: Relax or be active. Explore the tidal estuary on foot or by canoe (tides permitting). Visit various early European or pre-European sites.

Day 3: Follow the Abel Tasman track through native forests, past headlands, through estuaries, and onto soft sandy beaches to reach Torrent Bay Lodge. Approx. 5 hours hiking.

Day 4: Flexible schedule includes a choice of many beautiful short walks or canoeing (tides permitting) around the Torrent Bay estuary.

Day 5: Follow the Abel Tasman track along the coastline to Marahau where a coach awaits to return you to Motueka or Nelson. Approx. 4 hours hiking.

Alternative Options:
Three day walk and three day kayak and walk options are also available (see dossier for prices).
