Coach, Cruise & Walk
A full day trip of coach, cruise and track walking challenge.
One of the most popular packages in our day trip range. It gives you the chance to experience the most scenic part of the track. Coach - Leave Nelson and sit back for a scenic trip following the coast and the rolling hills to beautiful Kaiteriteri. Cruise - Here the boat will be waiting for you to board. The boat cruises the shoreline, travelling in close to idyllic beaches fringed by native forests. You will then start making tracks in the sand! Walk - This leisurely walk is unguided and allows you the freedom to soak up the Abel Tasman on your way. You have time to relax on the golden sand beaches and swim in the crystal blue waters. Walk from bay to bay taking in the elevated views along the way.
