Abel Tasman Tide Times

The Two Abel Tasman Tidal Crossing

Awaroa Crossing

This is the only part of the Abel Tasman where the tide will dictate your crossing. It’s recommend to only attempt the low tide crossing at most 1.5 hours either side of Low Tide. Please allow 25-35 mins to make the crossing. The closer to low tide the safer it is to cross, as there could be natural variations from large rain fall or storm surges. There are no detours for this crossing at high tide.

Make sure you check if your current plan will work before booking in huts, campsites and water taxi’s.

Torrent Bay Crossing

Due to a storm event, the Torrent Bay Bridge was been washed out. It is not expected to be fixed until summer 24/25.

Until then, you can only cross 4 hours either side from low tide. Please be aware that you will still have to cross the river. In the event of a king tide, you may only have 3 hours on either side of low tide

Next Steps:

1. Book in DOC Accom

2. Accom & Car Park

3. Book a Water taxi
