Abel Tasman was probably one of my most favorite places in New Zealand. It was beautiful! A few of the beaches in the reserve looked just like gold. The pictures can't even do it justice. It really was breathtaking.
I think this was the first time I was actually hot in New Zealand. It felt wonderful! This hike was so great because you followed the ocean almost the entire way. We hiked through lush rain forest, super dry areas, along the beach while the tide was out and across some awesome swing bridges! This day was really just fabulous. I kept thinking how lucky I was to be in such a beautiful place with my sweet little family!
We took a boat taxi out to see the famous "Split Apple Rock" and then on to a more remote part of the trail. This first pic is where we were dropped off and started the hike back along the ocean. It was perfect for the kids. The kids loved seeing the baby seals on the rocks and swimming in the water. Joey hiked almost all 24 km. I was amazed! By the end, they were totally worn out and so were we! Katie even fell asleep on the water taxi ride back!
