Sail to Anchorage, Then Explore at Your Own Pace

Depart Kaiteriteri aboard a comfortable sailing catamaran and spend the morning following the Abel Tasman coastline north towards Anchorage. Along the way, golden beaches, secluded coves and clear coastal waters unfold from the deck, with a stop at Split Apple Rock for one of the park’s classic views. Your skipper also shares stories and insights into Abel Tasman National Park as you travel.

Arriving at Anchorage around 12:30pm gives you the freedom to decide how the rest of your day unfolds. Relax on the beach, swim, enjoy a picnic or explore one of the nearby walking tracks before catching your pre-arranged water taxi back to Kaiteriteri. Return options range from early afternoon through to 5:00pm, so you can keep the experience relatively short or spend several extra hours enjoying Anchorage.
