Best Trips in the Abel Tasman

There is such an awesome range of activities for every type of explorer in the Abel Tasman. 

Most people Day Trips into the Park. Great for enjoying the creature comforts of civilisation. 

However, if you are looking to go overnight, make sure you explore some of our recommended Trips!

Some of the best day trips

These Trips can all be organised with pick up from The Barn car park. Explore for the day and get dropped back at The Barn for a great meal, hot shower and comfy nights sleep.

Booking in

We make bespoke trips with minimum group sizes, so we work around your schedule, and will make it work for you.

Upon making a booking we will send all the relevant information to you with schedules and itineraries. Please get in contact if you would like to know more!

Going it solo

If you want to research, organise and book it all in yourself, please read through our trips to gather as much info as possible. Ensure you check the Tide Timetable for the Awaroa Crossing.

Build Your Own DIY Abel Tasman Trip

If you love doing your own research, learning about Abel Tasman, and crafting the perfect plan, then we have summarised the key information for you to build your own adventure. This is a great starting guide about what to expect.

Picking the right campsites are always the key. I would recommend mixing it up between the different styles of campsites as outlined in our Abel Tasman Camping info.
