  • Abel Tasman National Park
    After a short safety briefing it's off on a guided kayak tour with Kaiteriteri Kayaks. Paddle to the iconic Split Apple Rock, spotting native wildlife and soaking in the breathtaking coastal views. Midway, relax with a picnic lunch on one of the park’s secluded golden-sand beaches before returning to shore.
  • The first part of The Great Taste Trail ride climbs up through the Kaiteriteri Bike Park. Winding through forest, and with lovely views out to the bays, it is a decent climb before joining the rest of the trail which is much more sedate.
  • Tasman
    Leaving Kaiteriteri, Nelson | Tasman's Great Taste Trail awaits. Pass through Riwaka, Motueka, Lower Moutere, and Tasman. The panoramic views, picturesque stops, local cafes, and charming rural scenery make this trail a must-ride.
  • Mapua
    In Mapua explore the wharf’s galleries, boutique shops, restaurants, cafes, a wine bar, and a local craft brewery.
