Albel Tasman ~ Torrant Bay - One of New Zealand's jewels, Abel Tasman NP has wonderful views, great beaches, excellent track, and pristine blue waters. My first day here I took a water taxi to Bark Bay for a 20km day tramp back to the park entrance. The track meandered in and around various coves and bays along the shoreline, often through the bush, but periodically with stunning views of the coastline below. The next day the views were from sea level when I was on a kayak trip organized by Kaiteriteri Kayaks, called their Soul Food trip. This trip had a 1-1/2 hour water taxi to its start at Mutton Cove where we had a day of easy paddling along the coastline, a catered lunch, and then at days end a water taxi ride back.
