Introducing Abel Tasman National Park
The accessible, coastal Abel Tasman National Park is NZ’s most visited national park. The park blankets the northern end of a range of marble and limestone hills extending from Kahurangi National Park; its interior is honeycombed with caves and potholes. There are various tracks in the park, including an inland route, although the Coast Track is what everyone is here for.
