"A great day trip with an easy guided walk, local stories, plenty of variety,
and good coverage of the Abel Tasman National Park through utilising water
taxis". Maree
Your adventure begins at beautiful, tidal Marahau where you and your guide begin the Abel Tasman Coastal Track. You will walk for just under two hours through lush native bush bordered by pristine golden beaches. The track then winds down to our authentic ‘kiwi’ bach built early last century. Here you will learn about this historic getaway while you and your fellow explorers relax and have a leisurely lunch followed by a swim or beach stroll.
Early afternoon you and your guide are uplifted by a water taxi. You then cruise north along the Abel Tasman coastline past deserted beaches and secluded bays - hopefully seeing some playful seals or penguins on the way. You disembark for a short time at Onetahuti Beach, before travelling by water taxi out of the Abel Tasman to Kaiteriteri, arriving mid to late afternoon.
(Note: Please enquire for shorter walk option, and personal guided walks)

"This is a trip for those who still want a cruise and the local history, but prefer walking and the bush rather than the longer cruise option. Still plenty of time for a swim and some relaxing on the beach but a more active day overall". Maree
Your day starts off the same as the Kiwi Bach, Seals and Cruise Guided Walk, however following lunch you continue walking north for approximately 2 hours through regenerating bush with spectacular sea views over Astralabe Roadstead and Anchorage. You then walk down the ridge into Anchorage where you can enjoy the beach or rest under the shady trees while you wait for your water taxi back to kaiteriteri.
