FULL DETAILS

DAY 1

Picture
We pick you up in Takaka at 8.30am and we drive to Wainui, the Northern start point for the Abel Tasman coast track. The trip begins with a magical walk along this peaceful coastline. With no water taxis in this part of the park, and fewer people there is a wonderful quietness that prevails.  Once at Totaranui Campground we sit back and relax at our comfortable glamping accommodation with a drink and enjoy a delicious evening meal.

DAY 2

Picture
From Totaranui the track climbs up over a small headland before dropping back down to cross Goat Beach and Waiharekeke Beach.  We have a morning tea break here on the golden sands before crossing the expansive estuary to Awaroa (timing depends on the tide).  Here we enjoy a picnic lunch followed by a drink at the Awaroa Lodge.  We then catch the afternoon water taxi back to Totaranui and return to Takaka approximately 5pm.
