Set sail along the breathtaking coastline of Abel Tasman National Park and discover one of New Zealand’s most beautiful natural playgrounds from both sea and land. This full-day adventure combines the peaceful experience of sailing past golden beaches, turquoise waters, and rugged granite headlands with the freedom to explore a section of the famous Abel Tasman Coast Track at your own pace.

After boarding the sailing catamaran and meeting the friendly crew, relax as the journey unfolds along the park’s spectacular shoreline. Keep an eye out for playful New Zealand fur seals basking on the rocks and enjoy informative commentary about the area’s wildlife, history, and natural environment. The vessel anchors at Anchorage Bay, where you’ll have time to enjoy your packed lunch on the beach (with pre-ordered catering available), take a refreshing swim, or simply soak up the coastal scenery before setting off on a self-guided walk through native forest, past scenic viewpoints, and along pristine beaches.

What makes this experience special is the chance to experience Abel Tasman from two unique perspectives in a single day. The combination of tranquil sailing, wildlife encounters, and one of New Zealand’s Great Walks creates a memorable adventure for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. From the moment you step aboard to your final coastal views, this journey showcases the very best of Abel Tasman’s iconic landscape.
