-- About this video --
Today we are joining Wilsons Abel Tasman for a day full of activities in the Abel Tasman National Park! We’re first taking a Wilsons Abel Tasman Water Taxi to Split Apple Rock then Torrent Bay where we are then going to kayak in Abel Tasman. After we reach another beach, we then have the choice to return to Torrent Bay by Kayak or to walk back via the Abel Tasman Coastal Track which is the Abel Tasman Great Walk of New Zealand.
It’s a stunning Abel Tasman Water Taxi ride to Split Apple Rock and other bays in the Abel Tasman National Park. We are dropping off hikers on other bays until it is our turn to jump off the boat with our tour group at Torrent Bay where our Abel Tasman kayak adventure begins.
We have an awesome group of backpackers in our tour led by a guide who gives us a lesson in double kayaking in the Abel Tasman National Park. Then we are ready to hit the water and discover Abel Tasman’s islands, bays and coves. There’s wildlife in the Abel Tasman National Park to see too.
After about an hour we arrive on Medlands Beach for some lunch and our halfway point. We now get to choose whether we kayak back to Torrent Bay or hike in Abel Tasman. We opt for the hike which is the Abel Tasman Coastal Track. The Abel Tasman Coast Track is one of New Zealand’s Great Walks.
The Abel Tasman Coastal Track takes us over swing bridges and through regenerating native forest with views of secluded beaches along the way. We are stoked to be able to do a Great Walk during our 365 Days: 365 Activities.
Once we return, we meet up with the rest of our Wilsons Abel Tasman tour group and catch the Abel Tasman water taxi back to Kaiteriteri!
So what do you think of the Great Walk & Kayak in Abel Tasman National Park? Would you kayak in Abel Tasman or do the Abel Tasman Great Walk? Let us know in the comments!

Awaroa Beach - Abel Tasman National Park - New Zealand Golden Bay
Awaroa Beach, one of the most famous beach in the world - without any tourists.
Golden Bay - NEW ZEALAND | TRAVEL lust
Golden Bay / Mohua is a shallow, paraboloid shaped bay at the northwest end of New Zealand's South Island. An arm of the Tasman Sea, the bay lies northwest of Tasman Bay and Cook Strait. It is protected in the north by Farewell Spit, a 26 km long arm of fine golden sand which is the country's longest sandspit. The Aorere and Takaka Rivers flow into the bay from the south.
It is known for being a popular tourist destination, because of its good weather and relaxed, friendly lifestyle. The bay was once a resting area for migrating whales and dolphins such as Southern Right Whales[1] and Humpback Whales, and Pygmy blue whales may be observed off the bay as well
