Abel Tasman is named after the Dutch explorer Abel Janszoon Tasman, who discovered the area in 1642. Today, it’s a favourite spot amongst locals with many Kiwi holiday homes dotted around the region. The Abel Tasman National Park is an outdoor adventurer’s dream. A coastal paradise featuring granite and marble rock formations.
Explore the coastline and lush native forest by foot, together with a local guide, learning about the rich biodiversity and Maori history. Set sail on a catamaran or paddle through the crystal blue water in a kayak. Discover secluded bays, islands, golden beaches, and marine life such as seals, penguins and dolphins. For thrill-seekers, go sky diving and soak up the bird's eye view of New Zealand’s smallest national park.
