Abel Tasman Coast Track | New Zealand’s Iconic Coastal Great Walk
The Abel Tasman Coast Track is a 60 km multi-day walk through golden beaches, lush native bush, and sparkling bays. Most people walk it one-way, using water taxis to return to Mārahau or transport gear between huts and campsites. It’s well-marked and offers a range of side trips, swimming spots, and overnight options along the way.
This video follows the full track from Mārahau to Wainui, highlighting important tidal crossings, side trips like Cleopatra’s Pool and Cascade Falls, and key features at each stage, including Anchorage, Bark Bay, Awaroa, Tōtaranui, Whariwharangi, and beyond. You’ll also learn what to expect with hut and campsite bookings, seasonal access, and what to know about transport and weather before you go.
Be sure to use the Plan My Walk app to check tides, book huts and campsites, and view gear checklists. You can also read reviews to find out how others found the trip, there are heaps of great tips to help you prepare for your adventure.
