Anchorage Bay in Abel Tasman National Park is a stunning destination for kayakers, hikers, and nature-lovers. With sheltered waters, an estuary to explore, a crystal clear tidal pool, and the Pitt Head Loop Track, which winds around a picturesque headland, Anchorage has something for everyone. Stop off to stretch your legs on the Abel Tasman Coast Track before exploring the golden-sand crescent of Te Pukatea Bay. Nature-enthusiasts can also discover the small caves at the northern end of Anchorage, home to glow worms and cave wetas! For those looking to stay a while, Anchorage has the first large camping area and hut from Marahau at the southern entrance. For a truly unforgettable experience, book a Freedom Kayak package and paddle through the Tonga Island Marine Reserve or take a Scenic Cruise along the spectacular Abel Tasman coastline. With its array of activities and breathtaking views, it’s no wonder Anchorage Bay is a popular spot among visitors of all ages.
