Abel Tasman Great Walk

If you're in the Golden Bay, the Abel Tasman National Park is a must-see! Serene beaches with stunning views that can be experienced best as part of a multi day hike along the Great Walk.
In our case we decided to go for a single night camping because of several reasons, the first was the weather forecast which predicted rain for the second day. Besides the most beautiful spots are in the first 2/3 of the hike. So the first leg took us 20 kilometers to a quiet beach and Campsite. The length of the track differs depending on the low tide when you can shorten it by crossing shallow bays. By planning the next day we realised that we could either go late in the afternoon of early in the morning. We decided to head out at 4 in the morning so we could make it across a section that can only be passed at low tide!!
That's the Appalachian Trail all over again :D But we managed to cross safely and arrived at 10 at the end of our trip. Because of the weather there we almost no cars so we switched from hitchhiking to get a taxi boat back.Read more
