Introducing Marahau

Further along the coast from Kaiteriteri and 18km north of Motueka, Marahau is the main gateway to the Abel Tasman National Park. From here you can book water taxis, hire kayaks, swim with seals or wander off on foot into the park. Marahau itself doesn’t really feel like a town – more like a loose affiliation of houses and businesses.

If you’re in a nonnautical, equine state of mind, Pegasus Park (0800 200 888; www.pegasuspark.co.nz; Sandy Bay Rd; 2hr/kids’ rides $85/35) offers the chance to belt along the beach on a horse, your hair streaming out behind you.
