The Abel Tasman is New Zealand’s smallest, and, arguably, most beautiful, national park. With breath-taking views around every corner, The Coast Track weaves its way through rich native forest, pristine golden beaches, and turquoise waters. Here you can immerse yourself in lush groves of tea trees, tree ferns and rimu, and walk to a soundtrack of bellbirds, tui, and weka. This area is steeped in history and culture, from the first Māori tribes and their brush with the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman, to d’Urville’s astrological survey and the first European settlers. 

We believe that this is a walk that shouldn’t be rushed, and our itineraries generally allow ample time to walk at your own pace, swim at the many secluded beaches, explore intriguing side trips, and absorb some of the finest natural beauty in the world. 

Our self-guided, multi-day trips offer a choice of the Coast Track Classic or Coast Track Complete. The Classic walk runs from Totaranui to Marahau, whilst the Complete walk has the addition of the lesser-visited Northern section from Wainui Bay to Totaranui. We have 3, 4 and 5 day itineraries, and a choice of staying at beachfront lodges in the heart of the Park, or boutique lodges on the edge of the Park. We take care of all the arrangements, including your accommodation, transport and food. Your overnight bag will be transferred to your accommodation by water taxi, so all you have to carry is your daypack. We will give you a full brief before you set off on your adventure, personally prepared trip notes for you to keep and an informative map.
