Cycling and Kayaking in Abel Tasman
Kaiteriteri is the gateway to Abel Tasman National Park and the Great Taste Trail. The park can be explored by sea through kayaking, which allows access to sheltered bays, golden beaches, and hidden coves while spotting native wildlife such as seals and birds. On land, the Great Taste Trail offers cycling routes that pass coastal tracks, estuary boardwalks, farmland, and native forest. Both activities provide different perspectives of the park’s landscapes, combining coastal views, forest scenery, and opportunities to observe local flora and fauna.
