Sit back and relax as we depart up to four times daily from picturesque Kaiteriteri Beach on a scenic cruise into the majestic Abel Tasman National Park.
View world famous Split Apple Rock, New Zealand Fur Seals and a Spotted Cormorant nesting colony. Travel on past golden sandy beaches, crystal clear waters of Torrent, Bark, Tonga, Awaroa and Totaranui.
Stay onboard for a scenic cruise or disembark at the beach of your choice and enjoy a walk through lush native bush to the next pick up point. Our skipper's informative and entertaining commentary will bring the region alive.

About Abel Tasman National Park
There are three main gateways into Abel Tasman National Park—in the south is Marahau and Kaiteriteri, reached by road from Motueka, in the north is Totaranui, reached by road from Takaka in Golden Bay.
Abel Tasman is known for its glittering gold sand beaches, turquoise water and spectacular ocean views. A range of wildlife inhabits the area, including penguins, and there's a seal colony in the Tonga Island Marine Reserve. Regular launch and water taxis provide easy access to the Park from the water.
The Abel Tasman Coastal Track takes three to five days and can be undertaken with or without a guide. There are a number of accommodation facilities ranging from basic Department of Conservation huts and lodges to independently owned lodges with excellent facilities.
Sea kayaking allows you to explore the coast from the water. Freedom camping is an option when over-nighting. Kayak rental operators are based at Marahau, Kaiteriteri and within the Park.
