The Abel Tasman Track is one of the most popular Great Walks of New Zealand and having now hiked it ourselves, it's easy to see why. Stunning beaches, beautiful forests, freshwater pools and endless sunshine made this one of the best hikes we've ever done.
If that hasn't persuaded you to go, then hopefully our photos will!
If you'd like to know more about our experience hiking the track you can read it here. We also have a practical guide on everything you need to know to hike this track.
