Activities in the Nelson Abel Tasman region
Sea & Air Adventures
< Back to activities
Enhance your sojourn with a full day Sea & Air Adventure, experiencing even more of the spectacular Abel Tasman National Park and the wild and wonderful West Coast than you'd drive through in a week.
Enter the world-renowned Abel Tasman by boat to experience golden beaches, turquoise waters, native bush and pristine marine reserves. After lunch take off from Awaroa Beach by fixed-winged aircraft or helicopter and then fly for up to two hours. Share unforgettable bird's-eye views of Abel Tasman National Park, flying over Golden Bay to Farewell Spit, the longest natural sandbar in the world. Your air-expedition flies on down the West Coast following the route where it meets the crashing Tasman Sea, seeing coastal forests and New Zealand's unique Nikau palms. Land at Karamea, probably New Zealand's most isolated town, to enjoy a drink with the West Coasters at the Karamea Village Hotel, perhaps trying a fritter of local whitebait, one of the world's rarest gourmet treats before returning by air to Edenhouse.
This adventure by sea then air is an ideal choice for visitors who have only limited time to experience the outstanding natural beauty of New Zealand's Abel Tasman and West Coast wilderness.
