Abel Tasman Park

by cnango - last update: Nov 1, 2005

Sara walking on the beach
Abel Tasman is a beautiful National Park, near Nelson on the South Island of New Zealand.
After hiking (or tramping as they say in NZ) for hrs through pristine native bush ,we arrived at this beautiful cove. We continued walking on the unspoiled beach until we reached the place where a water taxi picked us up and returned us to the main entrance of the park. Being from Southern California it is mind boggling to see so much unspoiled coastline that has been covered by man with only footprints !

 I really enjoyed this page on Abel Tasman National Park. You did a great job and the pix are awesome. Aqua Taxi & Kayaking look like great ways to see the beautiful beaches & coastline.
