6124-6124 Travel Guide

Abel Tasman National Park sits at the top of the South Island — New Zealand's smallest national park, yet famed for golden beaches, turquoise sea and the Coastal Track. Kayaking, seal beaches and tidal inlets let you enjoy a gentle wilderness where land and sea intertwine in slow adventure. Its beaches at Anchorage and Totaranui are calm and clean, good for family camping and snorkelling.

Cascade Falls tumble through Nelson's native bush, reached by a short forest walk.

The Falls River swing bridge carries the Abel Tasman Coast Track across the river mouth between beaches.
