Abel Tasman National Park – A Coastal Paradise

Abel Tasman National Park on the South Island is renowned for its golden beaches, clear waters, and lush forests. I spent two days exploring this coastal gem, and it felt like a true paradise. Kayaking and Hiking The best way to see Abel Tasman is by both water and land. I joined a guided kayaking tour along the coast, paddling through turquoise waters and spotting playful seals along the way. Stopping at secluded beaches, I felt like I was in my own tropical haven. After kayaking, I hiked a portion of the Abel Tasman Coast Track. The trail winds through native forest, with occasional glimpses of the coastline below. Each beach we passed was more beautiful than the last, with golden sand and crystal-clear water. Overnight Stay I spent the night in a small beachfront lodge, falling asleep to the sound of waves. Abel Tasman’s natural beauty is breathtaking, and I felt deeply connected to nature in this tranquil setting. Abel Tasman National Park is a must-visit for anyone who loves beaches and outdoor adventure, offering a unique slice of New Zealand’s coastal beauty. #internationaltravel #summerdestinations #domestictravel #trip #newzealand
