Nelson Tasman GREAT WALKS The park is well known for its 60km, three to fiveday Great Walk but a water taxi can also transport you to the most popular sections. Some of the best inland hiking tracks are reached from Golden Bay. Try Harwoods Hole (45 minutes one way) to see the deepest vertical shaft in New Zealand, or Wainui Falls (1hr 20min return) for an ethereal waterfall.

BOAT TRIPS Full-day pleasure boat tours depart (and return) Kaiteriteri Beach, and water taxis depart both Kaiteriteri and Mārahau, calling at all main beaches as far north as Tōtaranui, dropping passengers directly on the beach. For luxury, charter a yacht or stay overnight on a boat moored at Anchorage Bay.
KAITERITERI is a seaside resort in the Tasman Region, providing all the elements of a great Kiwi holiday: sunshine, seclusion and three unforgettable beaches with clean sand and sparkling water. It’s also a haven for mountain bikers – the Kaiteriteri Mountainbike Park is a fantastic, purpose-built park. Conveniently, Kaiteriteri is just 10km from Mārahau, the main gateway to Abel Tasman National Park.

BAY WATCH From Anchorage Beach, follow the Pitt Head Trail to access beautiful Te Pukatea Bay, as well as the crystal-clear Cleopatra’s Pools, complete with natural water slide. Get to Anchorage Beach by hiking from Bark Bay or Mārahau (around three to four hours walk) or catch the water taxi from Kaiteriteri. Better yet, dolphins and penguins are regular spectators round here.
