The southern end of the national park boasts some of Abel Tasman’s most picturesque scenery. Here, you’ll find twelve stunning beaches, awe-inspiring rock formations, and opportunities to spot a seal. From the kayak, catch glimpses of the coastal track and experience the enchantment of the Astrolabe Islands up close.

Enjoy lunch at Observation Beach before spending the afternoon walking unguided on the coastal track. Discover clear streams, native bushes, and breathtaking panoramas over the Astrolabe Islands. As you approach Marahau, the Marahau causeway marks the final leg of your journey—a stunning spot to reflect upon an unforgettable day.

Please note this trip may run in reverse; the kayak portion is guided, and the walk is unguided.
