My suggestion

Go to the DOC to check the tide forecast before you leave, as certain parts can only be crossed at low tide! And take along some insect repellent to avoid annoying sand fly bites.

Definitely the most beautiful park in my opinion, with lush greenery up to the edge of turquoise water. It's paradise for hikers and those who love sunbathing and swimming.

My suggestion

Go there in the summer to enjoy swimming. Winter is only good for hiking, because the water is too cold! Plan on 3 to 5 days for hiking the Abel Tasman Coast Track and remember to check the tide schedule!

Offering a number of hikes, Abel Tasman National Park will unveil unique views of its bays.

My suggestion

If you have enough time during your trip to New Zealand, go for a 3 to 5 day hike in the national park.
