2 DAY FREEDOM HIKE: Abel Tasman National Park

2 DAY FREEDOM HIKE: Abel Tasman National Park

Making walking on the Abel Tasman track part of your NZ tour. This 2 day hiking adventure starts with an 8:30am pickup from our camp at the entrance to the Abel Tasman down to the Aqua Taxi base. 

Leaving from Marahau on board Aqua Taxi enjoy a scenic one hour ride exploring the coastline north to Onetahuti Bay where one of the longest beaches in the Abel Tasman stretches before you.

Start your hike south following the well kept coastal track which will take you through native bush, across golden sand beaches and tidal lagoons until you reach Anchorage. The two tidal lagoons at Bark Bay and again at Torrent Bay can be crossed 2 hours either side of low tide or follow the all-tide track around the edge of the estuary. 

Stay overnight in Anchorage before walking back to Marahau and Old MacDonalds Farm on the second day. There is no rush to get back so enjoy your day exploring the many bays or take a refreshing swim along the way. Bliss!
