## Golden Beaches and Native Bush

A 60 km Great Walk along the gilded coastline of Abel Tasman National Park at the top of the South Island, threading bush, granite headlands and turquoise bays over three to five days. It is the gentlest of the Great Walks and the easiest one to taste in a single section.

Book huts or campsites through DOC well in advance for the October to April Great Walks season, and use the regular water taxis from Marahau or Kaiteriteri to shortcut to a chosen bay and walk a single leg.
