Even thought the weather wasn’t great (high winds on the coast) and we couldn’t do the entire journey to the north of the National park, it was still a nice journey on the modern boat. The staff helped explain everything really well and the commentary was good. The walks are very well signposted and not too demanding. We decided on the tour up to Tonga Quarry beach with the walk down to Medlands Beach. They allow ample time for you to walk between the drop off and pickup points (maybe a little too long if you don’t plan on having a dip). This route takes you high up into the forest following the sea along on your left. After a decent incline you begin to descend down into Bark Bay around 35mins after you begin the walk. Bark Bay is absolutely gorgeous with its water falls and swing bridge along the high tide path. You will also find basic toilets at the beginning and end of this route. It’s a good day out that we would highly recommend to anybody with the interest of walking a section of Abel Tasman without feeling rushed.

The redwoods are amazing to see up close and from the fantastic rope bridges spanning between them. The daytime walk is wonderful and gives you a great view of the awe-inspiring woodlands. The night walk is a very different but just as fantastic experience. The light and projections bring the forest to life in a fun and imaginative way. If you have time to do both day and night we would highly recommend. Top Tip: If doing both, take the higher walk during the night and the lower course during the daytime.
