Abel Tasman national park

After enjoying some relaxed beats at the hippie bar in Marahau the previous evening we were ready for a day hike in the Abel Tasman national park. Even though the hike was pretty much the opposite to our hike in Tongariro it was just as amazing.

Abel Tasman is a coastal national park with beautiful white sand beaches and turquoise water. All surrounded by native bush. Following the coastal hiking trail you encounter several unspoiled bays and lagoons. The only inhabitants are seals and exotic birds.
