Abel Tasman Coastal Track

Abel Tasman Coastal track is one of the spectacular walks in New Zealand. It is located at the northen part of the South Island, near Motueka. To complete the Abel Tasman Coastal track needs 3 - 5 days, however, we took 3 hours to explore only some part of the tracks around the bay. 


It can be sightseeing by boat, sea kayaking and track walking.


We found horseshoes was nailed under the post box, which was believed to bring good luck.


Beautiful scenery all the way, framing panoramic views of Abel Tasman.


Stepping into the track was like stepping into another time zone. The quiet stillness and cool shady atmosphere created by huge overlapping trees and leaves gave a sense of peaceful mystery.


It is covered in native bush, interlaced with walking tracks and surrounded by clear blue seas and golden sand. 


We enjoyed walking the picturesque track, and broke the walk with self-prepared lunch on the rock and enjoy the spectacular view.


We went down towards the beach, through a small inlet then a long stretches of golden sand appeared.


Then, went up to inland track that lead up to the landscape of hill to enjoy the overview the Tasman Bay.


Abel Tasman Coastal Track is essentially a nature walk, which provides an interesting insight into the forest where fauna and flora thrive. This exotic track offers spectacular undisturbed natural beauty and photographic opportunities. I would said, it's definitely a great place to track.
