Golden beaches, turquoise water, and coastal bush. New Zealand's most accessible national park feels like a tropical paradise at the bottom of the world.
Travel better in Abel Tasman with the right person
Split costs
A solo traveller in Abel Tasman spends about ~NZ$100โ170 a day. Accommodation, transport, guided tours and day trips all cost less split two ways.
Stay safer
A travel companion means someone knows your plans, can help navigate emergencies, and makes you less of a target in unfamiliar areas of Abel Tasman.
Go deeper
The best experiences in Abel Tasman (the off-menu restaurant, the dawn hike, the local's favourite spot) are found with a curious companion, not a guidebook.

Worth agreeing on before you meet
Leave No Trace
Abel Tasman is a protected national park. Pack out all rubbish, do not light fires (gas stoves only at campsites), stay on marked tracks, and leave shells and rocks where you find them. The ecosystem is fragile.
Mฤori Heritage
Abel Tasman's coastline has been home to Mฤori for over 700 years. Iwi (tribes) including Ngฤti Rarua and Te ฤtiawa have deep connections to this land. Respect all cultural sites and pฤ (fortified village) remnants along the coast.
Full detail (itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety) is in the Abel Tasman travel guide.
