Abel Tasman National Park

Trail Explorers this superb new trip option 2020/21.

We have the opportunity for guests to walk in the Abel Tasman National Park and stay at the luxurious Awaroa Lodge. No need for sleeping in tents and eating freeze dried meals when you can have a comfy bed and delicious meals accompanied by a wine or beer at the end of each day.

Awaroa Lodge is not accessible by road. You can only get there by walking or water taxi which makes it such a desired destination. There are not many opportunities to stay in 4 star comfort in one of NZ’s most visited national parks.
