Abel Tasman Coastline Walk is one of the ten famous Great Walks in New Zealand.
The stunning scenery of the mountains and the sea attracts many climbers to challenge themselves.
Two hours drive from Nelson and half an hour drive from Motueka
I had always wanted to come here to challenge myself when I was doing an exchange in Nelson.
This time I challenged the coastline hiking, a total of 55 kilometers
It is recommended to complete a single route in 3-5 days.
This time we chose two days and one night because of limited time.
The total hiking time is about 16 hours and the total distance is about 37.5 kilometers
It's a pity that there was only one section left and I didn't have time to finish it.
But leave some regrets for completion in the future!
We booked a camping site for one night
NZD 15 per person per night (approximately NT$ 300)
Three girls take turns carrying the tent
Deeply understand that a good tent takes you to heaven....
Think about being exhausted.
Not only do you need to carry warm clothes, two days' worth of food, a three-liter water bag, and a moisture-proof mat,
In addition to all the necessary mountaineering supplies, you also have to carry a tent weighing several kilograms...
Really good weight training! Ha ha.
You must prepare enough food and water. Sometimes you have to walk for four hours before you can find a drinking water supply station.
On the way back, we booked a water taxi from Awaroa to Marahau.
NZD 47 per person (approximately NT$ 940), the boat ride takes about 1 hour
When admiring Abel Tasman on the boat
I thought quietly: "Oh my god! Have we walked that far?"
Yes, sometimes you should never doubt yourself
You are stronger than you think! Ha ha
In just two days, it was exciting and unforgettable
We only met two Asians during the whole trip. Foreigners are really fast.
I picked up two sticks from nowhere and used them as hiking poles.
It's like Gandalf in the demon world, holding a grinding staff and trying to conquer Yasman.
Then, every time I changed the branches, I realized the "Wand Love"
Sometimes, what is not suitable for you may be what others have been looking for for a long time.
On the contrary, there is no need to be too sad about what you have lost, because someone is waiting for you.

As if lost in the primeval jungle,
There is no signal here, so you can experience the most natural life
Feel life, feel nature,
Feel every vitality and every surprise.
Hear the birds singing and the wind blowing through the leaves.
Listen to your heart.

Camping at Bark Bay, first time camping on the beach
With the sound of waves and wind, looking up you will see the Milky Way
In the morning the sun bursts out from the horizon.
Then the golden beams fell on the sea,
Every backpacker quietly gazed at the wonderful scene in front of them.
As the waves came ashore, I sat on the driftwood and felt the tranquility of the moment.

The most interesting thing about the Coastline Hiking Trail is that
Special attention must be paid to the times of high and low tides at the coast.
Therefore, they have high tide lines and low tide lines.
We walked for a while today and happened to encounter high tide.
But since this is the only path to get there,
And because we have booked a boat for 3pm
It is imperative to travel to Awaroa in time.
In a hurry, every backpacker began to take off their clothes.
Only the simple underwear on his body was left.
Then he took up the bag with both hands and put it on his head.
Each step carefully waded across the sea to the other side,
I feel urgent but also excited.
Strangers who don't know each other greet each other with the most cordial smile.
Help each other with the most sincere kindness.
