Hiking the Abel Tasman Coast Track | New Zealands Great Walks | Episode 7

Nestled at the northern tip of New Zealand's South Island, lies New Zealand's smallest National Park. But despite it's small size, it's one of the most visited places in the country. The Abel Tasman National Park is where lush native forests meet golden sandy beaches; where glacier rivers meet tropical seas.

At the heart of the park lies the renowned Abel Tasman Coastal Track. Spanning 60 kms of well-maintained trails, this iconic trek weaves through some of the most beautiful coastal scenery New Zealand has to offer. The track is filled with numerous hidden coves and inlets, which make this a must do for hikers and kayakers alike.
