Cruise into the heart of Abel Tasman National Park, pausing at Anchorage to view your destination, then continue on to disembark at idyllic Medlands Beach.

Walk the most varied section of the Abel Tasman Coastal Track, around the spectacular Torrent Bay estuary to the long, golden sands of Anchorage Beach. Watch the video, taken by one of our visitors - simply stunning!

The track weaves through sunny groves of Manuka and fern between breathtaking views of the granite coast and lush gullies of mature forest, to reach tranquil forest pools (maximum elevation 105 metres/340 ft). Cross the rushing Falls River by an impressive swing bridge.

Allow an extra 30 minutes to take a short (500 metres) side track beside a crystal forest stream to visit tranquil Cleopatra's Pool. If you want to try the natural waterslide, allow some extra time. Watch a visitor's story: A Nature-Made Waterslide in Abel Tasman.

Awesome day trek!

The weather had packed up a couple of days ago which made the paths and treks muddier than usual. However that hadn't made the slightest impact on having a great walk! The Falls River Swing Bridge could only bear 5 people on it at a time and had a very graphic warning sign. It took us 4.5 hours with very leisurely/ steady pace, including lots of photo stops, lunch break and a detour to visit Cleopatra's Pool. Turned out to the be most refreshing detour with crisp, crystal clear water washing your wariness/ tiredness away towards to the end of the walk!

Pleasant Hike

Easy hike with beautiful views. We were able to catch an earlier ferry back as we arrived a few hours before our ticketed ferry.
