I had 2 full days to explore Abel Tasman NP and I was really looking forward to it. Its a coastal national park on the north west of the south island and has the highest number of sunshine hours in New Zealand. I spent a morning walking through the coastal rain forest, past some stunning beaches and then took a catamaran sailing trip back to town. The day was really good and its hard to believe how yellow the sand was and the colour of the water. Definitely one of the best places I've been to yet. On the sailing trip we went past a fur seal colony and also took a swim to Split Apple rock. Despite the sunny weather the water was absolutely freezing! There was so much you could do here- kayaking, days of walking, sky diving and various other aerial trips. It's been nice to just chill out.
