ABEL TASMAN NATIONAL PARK

NATIVE FOREST, BOAT CRUISE, SCENIC HIKE
If you choose to take this Connection you will not regret it - it's one of our favourites! We say farewell to Nelson and travel west passing vineyards, orchards and hop plantations to Kaiteriteri; gateway to the National Park. With this Connection you can choose to upgrade your pass to include a scenic boat cruise and walk or a ‘Seals and Sand’ combo. Of course you could also simply just walk around and explore this amazing area yourself. If you take up the chance of a cruise the boat will take you into the heart of the National Park allowing you to cruise the breathtaking Tasman Bay whilst viewing the beautiful scenery and many seabirds that frequent the area. You can get dropped off at Bark Bay or Torrent Bay, walking back through native forest and golden beaches to catch the bus back for another night in Nelson. Approximate arrival time in Nelson varies dependent on which returning bus you catch
