One Day Walk to Anchorage in Abel Tasman National Park

If you only have one day available and are staying in Nelson or Motueka, this is the trip for you!

We pick you up from your accommodation at 9.00 am, drive to the beginning of the track where we start the walk to Anchorage.

On the way we relate stories of the Maori people of the area and of the early European explorers and specialise in describing native plants and their natural history.

Itinerary

Depart Nelson and drive across the Waimea Plains, through Motueka, arriving at Marahau at the start of the Abel Tasman Track. From the car park, the track crosses a causeway and passes gradually from dry bracken ridges to an area of beautifully bushed gullies and headlands with ever changing views of the Astrolabe Roadstead and Adele Island. A small climb and then the track drops down to beautiful Anchorage Bay Hut where we catch the 4.00 pm water taxi for our return to the beginning of the track. We arrive back in Nelson around 6.00 p.m.
