Abel Tasman National Park

#summervacay Abel Tasman National Park is the ultimate summer paradise—golden beaches, turquoise waters, and lush bush tracks make it a favorite for hiking, kayaking, and beach-hopping. The Abel Tasman Coast Track is a Great Walk that can be done over several days or in shorter sections with water taxi access. In summer, the water is warm enough for swimming, and the sheltered bays are ideal for snorkeling and paddleboarding. Whether you’re camping, staying in a lodge, or doing a day trip from Nelson, Abel Tasman is the definition of summer perfection.
