Your chance to see the beautiful Abel Tasman, which in our opinion is much nicer in winter, especially with Nelson's sunny calm winter days.
$5 from each person's entry will be donated to Project Janszoon.
Please Note:
This outing is not a race unless you want to race yourself or your mates. We are providing the water taxis that will get you to your selected bay. Once you are off the boat, it is your responsibility to find your own way back to Marahau in your own time.
This event is being held in mid winter. You must carry with you clothing that will keep you warm in all weather conditions. The boat ride will be particularly cool. Make sure you wear/carry warm hats, gloves, thermal layers AND a wind/water proof outer layer, plus some food.
There will be a bag available on each boat to take any gear that you don't won't to take with you on the run/walk, that can be collected later back at the Abel Tasman Centre.
