Welcoming visitors since 1841, let the Wilson family take care of the details leaving you more time to relax or explore.  Spend from 3 hours to 5 days in the country’s finest coastal National Park. Travel in style on the fast, safe, comfortable Vista Cruise.  Choose a beach stop with walking (guided or non-guided) or guided sea kayaking option.  Stay overnight in the only Beachfront Lodges within the Park.

Walks - Take from 3 hours to 5 days to explore the easiest walk in a National Park in New Zealand.

Abel Tasman National Park is known as The Park for all Seasons, basking under the most sunshine hours in the country, year-round. Spring, Summer, Autumn (Fall) or Winter show their different moods against a backdrop of golden-sand beaches, evergreen native forest, sculpted granite headlands and islands, lapped by crystal-clear azure waters.

The Abel Tasman Coast Track is well formed and easy to follow with no point higher than 150 metres (approx. 500 feet). It is maintained to a high standard by the Department of Conservation.

Good walking shoes are recommended but heavy hiking boots are not necessary (some people prefer to wear them). The track is mostly shaded by lush native forest and opens out to sheltered golden-sand beaches and wide, sandy estuaries where you will be exposed to the sun for short periods.

Boats - The Abel Tasman Voyager operates every day in Abel Tasman National Park. For no extra cost, travel with speed, style and comfort aboard our state-of-the-art catamaran with open and enclosed viewing decks and onboard licensed cafe. Stay on board for a breathtaking scenic cruise or choose a beach stop and walk to suit your idea of quality beach time or active walking.

The choice is yours...

• Scenic Cruise Options from 1 hour 45 min to 2 hours 30 min
• Cruise and Walk Options

During the summer months there are three Vista Cruise sailings, departing from Kaiteriteri at 9.30 am, 1.00 pm and 4.00 pm so you can travel into Abel Tasman National Park for the full day, or just for the morning or afternoon. We operate a reduced timetable during the quieter months (April to October) Departing Kaiteriteri every day at 9.30 am.

Kayaking - Sea kayak New Zealand's finest coastal National Park. Civilised adventure with the aim of enjoyment, not distance. It could be you gliding through sheltered azure waters that lap golden coves and sculpted granite headlands lined by lush native forest.

• Departures daily from Kaiteriteri.
• Coach transfers available from/to Nelson, Motueka and Marahau.
• Sea kayak with the most experienced operators in the Nelson region.
• Enjoy sea kayaking summer and winter. The cooler months (May to October) bring calm, crisp days that are perfect for kayaking.
