ACTIVITIES A LA CARTE

Build your own Short Break Package; select the accommodation and meals of your choice and add any of these great day trips....

Abel Tasman - water taxi & walk

Abel Tasman - kayak & walk

Catch a 9am water taxi from Marahau, kayak around the seals in the Marine Reserve, lunch on an unspoilt beach and walk 2 hours to Torrent Bay to catch the return water taxi. Choose either a guided or a freedom walk.

Abel Tasman - full day kayak

A full day of sea kayaking along the coast of the Abel Tasman. Select either the Marine Reserve for an encounter with the seals or an eco trip (no water taxis) focussing on the birds of Adele Island. Both with lunch stops on unspoilt beaches.

Abel Tasman - luxury boat cruise

Depart at 10am from Kaiteriteri aboard luxury catermaran "Taranui", cruise into deserted bays away from the crowds. Hop off for a swim or try your hand at kayaking before a walk to the next bay. Delicious buffet lunch on board.

Abel Tasman - sailing

A full day sailing on a 20 person catermaran or a shorter sail plus a walk - great fun on a sunny day. Get the wind in your hair and swim off a golden beach.

Guided nature walks

Your guide will pick you up at 08:30 and take you through the beautiful Motueka Valley and up to 1000m where your walk starts. Choose either an active day climbing Mount Arthur for stunning 360 views or a gentle stoll turning every leaf. A must for birding, flora and conservation lovers.

We can suggest 3 or 4 great guided day trips to create a multi-day eco-package - covering alpine flowers, bird watching, rich bush, tussock lands, fungi, geology, Abel Tasman and more, staying in comfort each night at The Resurgence.

Golden Bay & Eco Tours

Golden Bay has fantastic beaches, cafes and short walks. Choose either a self-drive day trip to Wharariki Beach, cliff top walks, visit Pupu Springs or the art galleries and cafes; or drive over to Collingwood and meet Farewell Spit Tours for a tour of the famous sandspit, a wader birding trip or a nature tour with hands on conservation.

Horse Trek or Mountain Bike

Select a beach or clifftop horse trek in Golden Bay or bush and river ride on the edge of Kahurangi National Park.

For mountain bike enthusiasts there are some great guided trips on the edge of the Abel Tasman, such as the Rameka Track and Marble Mountain rides. Options for experienced riders and novices.
