New Zealand snippets: Nelson National Parks
The Nelson region is a natural paradise of golden sands, turquoise seas, alpine lakes and forest clad hills. This is a region where nature didn’t hold back! You can pick from popular hang outs to unforgettable private beaches that are only accessible by foot or boat. Here you will find a combination of beautiful scenery and a relaxed attitude.
If you have time explore all of the Nelson region’s different National parks:
1) Khaurangi – the biggest and wildest of the three parks.
2) Nelsons lakes – tranquil and picturesque
3) Abel Tasman Park – has exquiste beaches.
These three National parks are all located within 90min of each other.
If you only have time to explore one then I recommend either walking or kayaking along the Abel Tasman shore line.

I’m so sad we had such rainy weather for our walk along the coast of Abel Tasman. It really is a special place!
