The Abel Tasman Coast Track is New Zealand's most acclaimed coastal walk. The walk snakes its way along the gorgeous coastline of Abel Tasman national park. Magnificent views over pristine golden beaches and the crystal clear water of Tasman and Golden Bays are just a few of the rewards of walking this linear end-to-end track.
This region has more sunshine hours than anywhere else in New Zealand so you'll get to enjoy those deep freshwater pools and the many streams that you encounter. There's also the isolated beach or two that will beckon you to stop, sit and just enjoy.
You will be treated to 4-star accommodation and excellent meals at Awaroa Lodge, private transfers from Nelson to Marahau, and the best of creature comforts available in Marahau village, for an unsurpassed fully-immersive walking experience.
The highlight on our Abel Tasman walk means staying right in the middle of Abel Tasman National Park for two nights and being able to explore the area at your own leisure. The luxury of the Awaroa Lodge is an additional bonus. The lodge has a long history which you’ll learn more about once you arrive and the staff are ready to help in any way they can. Why not add a day at end of the trip and really relax? The dinners at Awaroa are 2 course a la carte and the cooked breakfasts are also prepared by Awaroa’s professional chefs.
This trip is not available from the end of April until the start of October. We also suggest that you book January and February well in advance and bear in mind the area gets very crowded with holidaymakers.
The end of December until the end of March is considered high season. Please bear in mind there will be additional costs for the Christmas and New Year period (22nd December – 7th January).
Spring (October to December) and autumn (March to end of April) are excellent times to walk!
This track is smooth, well-graded, with mostly gentle ascents and descents. This is as good as it gets. Walks are about 13 km a day allowing you to explore the many isolated beaches and potentially add on some of the optional walks we have suggested.
Flights to Nelson are available from all major New Zealand centres. From Nelson, you will enjoy a private transfer to the beginning of the Abel Tasman Track. If you choose to self-drive, the roads (coastal or inland) from Christchurch are excellent and offer ample opportunities to explore on the way. Your vehicle can be left safely at your accommodation in Marahau. See getting there and away for Queen Charlotte for other alternatives if you are considering doing both walks.
December through February is usually warm to hot with excellent swimming weather. But as mentioned please book well in advance for January and February due to the summer school holidays. March through May and September to November is usually cooler, with long sunny days, perfect for walking.
See the New Zealand Meteorological Service for information about average temperatures and rainfall at different times of the year.
We require that you have adequate travel insurance against potential losses, damage or injury, including cancellation costs and loss of luggage.
For all trips that require international travel, you must have purchased travel insurance that also includes medical evacuation coverage.
We also charge a cancellation fee if you cancel your walking holiday after we have confirmed it to cover costs incurred from our suppliers and in the office. See the FAQ section for more information.
For almost 30 years we have taken pride in providing seamlessly organised walking holidays, but we know, even with that in mind, that you’ll have many more questions. You will receive a very detailed information pack and itinerary approximately 6 weeks out from departure outlining all the fine detail and much more.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask one of our destination consultants. You can get in touch with us via our contact form or email us at info@Stroll.com
