Abel Tasman National Park

This one should be the second trek in my list.

Location

At 22,530 hectares Abel Tasman is New Zealand's smallest national park. It is located at the top of the South Island; the nearest towns are Motueka, Takaka and Kaiteriteri

About 

The most noticeable features of this park are the golden sandy beaches, the fascinating rocky outcrops (mainly granite but with a scattering of limestone and marble) and the rich, unmodified estuaries. The landscape has been modified, perhaps more than in our other national parks. The vegetation cover varies and reflects a history of fires and land clearance, but the forests are regenerating well especially in damp gullies where a rich variety of plants can be found. Black beech dominates the drier ridges. 


ACTIVITIES:

Tracks and walks

There are two options for those with a few days to spare and the desire to explore: the Coast Track and the Inland Track through the hilly centre of the park. The Coast Track is the easier and is one of New Zealand's Great Walks.

I'll have a lot to hike in New Zealand so I think I'll take 2 days rest to visit in day trips the Abel Tasman so I won't get the Coast track. Anyway here some information I found about this track
There is no charge for day walks.

Getting there

Private transport

The Inland Track has road access at several points:
Marahau, the southern gateway, is 67 km from Nelson.
To reach the northern end or Pigeon Saddle (on the Totaranui Road), follow State Highway 60 over Takaka Hill to Takaka (107 km from Nelson). Turn right upon entering Takaka; from there it is 23 km to Wainui car park, 24 km to Pigeon Saddle and 32 km to Totaranui.

Public transport

Regular high season bus services provide access to Marahau, Totaranui, Pigeon Saddle and Wainui.
On-demand taxi services are available at Motueka and Takaka.
Boat services from Kaiteriteri and Marahau provide access to Totaranui

A Back Country Hut Pass or Backcountry Hut Tickets are required to stay in the huts along or near the track. These must be purchased before you begin your trip and are available from DOC offices, visitor centres and some sports shops throughout New Zealand. Heating is provided in the huts, but there are no cooking facilities. Please use only dead firewood and carry your own cooking equipment.

Plan and prepare

• Safety: Weather in Abel Tasman National Park is generally mild but you should be prepared for high winds and heavy rain and carry spare warm clothes all year. Snow falls occasionally around Moa Park and upper Evans Ridge. Please use the visitor books in the huts. Always tell someone where you are going. Remember your safety is your responsibility.
• Rubbish: No rubbish facilities are provided; all rubbish must be carried out of the park.
• Giardia: Giardia has been found in some park waters. It can be removed from drinking water by boiling, chemical treatment or filtering.
• Water: There are few reliable water sources along the Inland Track, particularly along Evans Ridge and between Tinline Bay and Holyoake’s Clearing. Carry your own water supply.
