Almost rising up with the sun, and everyone on time for the transport 8:30 to Water Taxi Abel Tasman. Tourists are big business in NZ and Water taxi is no exempt. Checkin is efficient and we all wait outside the office togheter with a load of other eager Tasman park visitors. 9:00 tractors start rolling our the jet boats and the passengers embark on land and are transported down to the sea.

There your packed boat is slowly launched in to the water. And we head off in the choppy waters. A detour takes us pass the famous formation apple rock.
A 40 min bumpy ride later we arrive in Anchorage bay, water is turquoise and boats are lazily anchored in the bay. In front of us are a 12 km Abel Tasman tracks to be covered by Janlert feet and after checking out the huts and information we take off. Following the path uphill gives us magnificent views of the sea.

Later on the track is not as exciting since it winds along fairly similar. Klara gets bored but the distance markers showing how far we have left gives her new energy. Vera sprints along, eager to get back to our afternoon horse trek. 4 hours later everyone are happily back at our campervan.

Great experience! Pernilla and Vera transforms into horse riders and goes off to meet Brian, the owner of Marahau horse treks. Brian is a genuine Kiwi, and his mouth never sleeps.
