Join us on a spectacular water taxi ride from Marahau to Torrent Bay. From there, we’ll walk up the tracks to the top of the canyon. Venture deeper into Abel Tasman National Park and discover Falls River, offering a high-flow canyoning experience that lets you feel the true force of nature. With powerful waterfalls and rapids, this adventure will get your adrenaline pumping. The scenery is simply amazing, adding to the thrill of the journey.

We descend the canyon and walk back out to Anchorage, where your night's accommodation awaits you, glamping in Anchorage. After a big day of action and fun, you are met with a cold beer or cup of tea, nibbles, and a gourmet meal surrounded by New Zealand perfection. Sleep peacefully on a comfortable bed, listening to the sounds of nature as you drift off. Camping along the Abel Tasman Track unites you with nature like no other accommodation, with stunning starry skies, glow worm caves, and native wildlife to admire close up.
