Abel Tasman National Park is New Zealands smallest national park
and is famous for its golden beaches. These stretch from Marahau, near Motueka,
to Wainui Bay, in Golden Bay. There are two walking tracks; the beautiful coastal track,
and the inland track through the hilly centre of the park.
Kaiteriteri Beach has golden sands and is a favourite holiday spot.
Takaka Hill and Mounts Owen and Arthur have prominent cave systems which have
the largest and deepest explored caverns in the southern hemisphere.
