The time I was living on the South Island of New Zealand is one of my best moments. At that time, I had a chance to see the best landscapes that I hadn't seen before. From the aurora to snow in the winter, those things are hardly caught in Vietnam. That's great when nature is so close to you in New Zealand. Like my situation, I lived near the Abel Tasman National Park, therefore that always was my favorite place to go on the weekend. Cause not only the great walk but also a beautiful beach and small islands in the national park.
There is a national park in New Zealand named Abel Tasman National Park, located between Golden Bay and Tasman in the north of the South Island. Tasman Bay was named after Abel Tasman, an explorer who discovered New Zealand as well as Golden Bay in 1642.
This is a whole view of the Abel Tasman Coastal Track from the opposite side.
Forests, hills and the Riwaka and Takaka river valleys to the north and Golden and Tasman bays to the north make up much of the area. Both Riwaka and Takaka are pretty nice places to visit too. Explore Riwaka Resurgence is also interesting too.
Back to Abel Tasman National Park, this is a popular tourist attraction place. Combined with relaxation, this is a great place to explore and relax on the weekend or on your short holiday. Those who visit this place will find it dotted with lush forests of marine woodlands in harmony with the winding coastline and a flora system rich in species.
The beauty of Abel Tasman can be appreciated fully by walking along its coast. You will find a space that is fresh, comfortable, and quiet. Or visitors can rent themselves a sea kayak to explore the beautiful sandy bays like paradise with sparkling waves and admire close-up animals such as seals, rays and dolphins.
And the special thing is that you can book a tour to see seals and small islands in the national park. There is a water taxi here, a bit interesting to try.

I saw the seals in Abel Tasman too, but they are bigger than this. Maybe those seals are their babies. And kayak tours are great too, you can discover the forest while sailing.

Actually, with one day in Abel Tasman, you can try many outside activities and enjoy nature that will totally please you and make you have a perfect weekend.
