 JohanIsWeg Says:  Between Breaker Bay and Kaiteriteri Beach is a promontory with the road winding its way from Sandy Bay Road to a car park – the ideal location from where to view Kaiteriteri to the south and Abel Tasman to the north. Nice picnic spot too! 

 JohanIsWeg Says:  Tokongawa Drive, off the Sandy Bay-Marahau Road, and Lady Barkly Grove provides good sightlines towards Marahau and the Abel Tasman. Particularly for those into photography. 

 JohanIsWeg Says:  Split Apple Rock is standard on the itinerary for most cruises from Kaiteriteri or Marahau. However, you can view Split Apple Rock from the comfort and relative privacy of the beach. Driving along the Sandy Bay-Marahau Rd from Kaiteriteri, turn right into Tokongawa Drive, at...

 JohanIsWeg Says:  The crystal-clear water of the Abel Tasman National Park simply insists on aquativity in warmer weather! There are so many protected coves that allow sub-surface investigation one would be silly not to indulge. Whether from the beach or off the side of a cruise, it is a...
