Abel Tasman Water & Walk is for those visitors who have more of a focus on walking through the park so that they can spend more time exploring the many features on offer and discovering there is much more here than anticipated.
Access is by water taxi to Medlands Beach in Bark Bay and walking through an ever changing forest of silver fern, strangely twisted Manuka or kanuka and beech trees and under large podocarp trees alongside Falls River over a swing bridge on to Torrent Bay, Cleopatras Pools or Pitt Head.
This added value, fully guided journey interprets the less obvious features such as the early settler activity as well as Maori history and the endless stories that abound here, especially from the rich variety of vegetation, birds and aquatic life.
Highlights:
- Strolling golden sand beaches.
- Unique interpretation of Abel Tasman National Park.
- The Stories!
- The security of an experienced guide.
