Abel Tasman's ORIGINAL Split Apple Rock Coffee Cruise. Join Skipper Dave as we depart from the Kaiteriteri Beach cruising northwards hugging the coastline, gliding into the beautiful secluded bays as we make our way to iconic Split Apple Rock. Unlike every other cruise, we run super close to the land giving you the opportunity to see these typical Abel Tasman beaches close up. As we cruise be sure to check out the gorgeous native bush and be wow’d by some of the homes tucked along the beaches. Once we reach Split Apple Rock we will drop anchor and enjoy the tranquil beauty of this incredible formation. Feed the fish or go for a swim or simply relax on board with a complimentary tea or coffee. If you are looking for a short cruise without the crowds and with truly personal service then this is the cruise for you! Whether you are on your own or travelling with the whole tribe, this is an experience like no other. FYI: We have toilet & change room facilities on board for your comfort.

Partner and I had a fantastic morning exploring the green (easy) runs. Very well done park, had a fun morning of (free) mountain biking through beautiful native bush. From the entrance car /boat trailer park on Martin Rd it was a little tricky to find the start despite the big sign being right there, but after that the signage got easier and we basically just kept doing different little sections until we found ourselves back at the car. Partner especially was a little cautious. She has a good basic level of fitness and good general cycle confidence but not very experienced on a mtb, but she said she was ‘comfortably challenged’ and I (early 40s semi fit woman) also had a great time having lost my nerve after health problems in recent years and just getting it back. Credit to the locals who have created this park and made it so welcoming yet managing to be not dead boring for less technical riders. This is a combo that seems unbelievably hard to come by on the Christchurch Port Hills tracks where I’m local to. (As a guide for Christchurch people if you can do all of bottle lake tracks without freaking out you can do this easy.) Made my day which is saying something given it was a perfect weather summer day that was followed in the afternoon by an amazing beach swim just a short walk down the road- and a feijoa gelato :)

This is a must-see when cruising the coast of Abel Tasman National Park. All the commercial cruise boats head here, but they take turns getting close, so everyone has a chance to take that perfect picture.
