Located between Golden Bay and Tasman Bay in the north end of the South Island, the Abel Tasman National Park is renowned for its golden beaches, sculptured granite cliffs, and world-famous coast track.
At 22,530 hectares, Abel Tasman is New Zealand’s smallest national park. It is also one of its most visited – with an estimated 300,000 visitors annually. With its beautiful beaches, secluded bays, stunning waterfalls, seals and dolphins; it is no surprise the park is so popular.
Add to this a stunning coastline, rich network of landforms and habitats, unmodified estuaries, and a number of threatened or endangered species and you have an exciting opportunity for ecological restoration and learning.,
