Sailing Abel Tasman National Park

The Abel Tasman National Park coastline offers some of the best sailing in New Zealand. Almost daily through summer the sea breeze fills in from the North mid morning and gradually builds through the afternoon. Peaceful relaxing sailing early in the day is the ideal time to cruise North exploring the native bush clad coastline and golden beaches. The afternoon offers the thrill and excitement of fast sailing, a great opportunity to ride the waves back down the coast. Shelter and calm water can still be found in most bays when the breeze is up, offering a great balance for cruising sailors. Some of the days highlights are visiting one of New Zealand’s largest  Fur Seal Colony’s, beautiful Native Bushing walking and lunch on the golden sands of one of many beautiful beaches.
