Abel Tasman Coastal Walk

The Abel Tasman Coastal Track is located in the Abel Tasman National Park at the northwest tip of New Zealand’s South Island. Due to the local climate, this track can be walked year round. Golden sandy beaches meet coastal forest and granite cliffs on this Great Walk set in our smallest but most popular national park. Known for its great weather and popular with both hikers and sea kayakers, the Abel Tasman Track is an ideal walk for families and first time walkers.

What to Expect

Golden Sandy Beaches

If it is beaches you seek, then the Abel Tasman Coastal Track boast some of New Zealands best with golden sands stretching for miles including Onetahuiti Beach.

Unique Rock Formations

Admire the many unique granite formations and naturally shaped granite cliffs including the much-photographed Split Apple Rock

Marine Life

This coast is a popular haven for New Zealand fur seals and if you opt for a spot of sea kayaking along the way, you are bound to have a close encounter!

Variety of Options

Serviced by a number of water taxi operators and with road access to different sections, walkers can hop on or off at numerous points and carry only a day pack.

What our other guests have said

Everything on both the Abel Tasman walk and the Queen Charlotte walk was very well organised and Anna did a superb job in booking and liaising with us. The accommodation was great in lovely lodges along the way. Beautiful scenery and I recommend that you book with New Zealand walks.

New Zealand outdoor adventures done in style - Amazing experience with a very knowledgeable, energetic and fun guide Jake that made the adventure so enjoyable. Would highly recommend to anyone whom enjoys the multiple day hike in comfort and good hands.

Mark, Queen Charlotte 4 Day Guided Walk, December 2022

We wanted to express our appreciation for the excellent trip. The weather was perfect, so that helped of course. We have done this before in Dec 2010, and it was up to the then same high standard, in all respects. Thanks for food, heli rides (begin and end) jetboat, meals, guides, and lodge...
