With the Abel Tasman and Kahurangi National Parks on your doorstep, The Resurgence is a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts and wildlife appreciators. In the Abel Tasman, take to the water on a range of kayaking and boat trip excursions in search of dolphins, seals and the iconic little penguins.

In the Kahurangi National Park an unspoilt wilderness of mountain and forest walks awaits, brimming with bird life and fantastic encounters with the endemic wildlife. Other guests may appreciate the wine and cycle trails that surround Nelson in the areas of Moutere, Mapua and Motueka. No better example exists on Nelson's Great Taste Trail, a network of cycle trails tracks along the coast, through winery country and over rolling hillsides onto Rabbit Island's forest trails. Art enthusiasts are similarly well catered for, as the area has recently experienced a resurgence in creative prowess. Inspired by the local light quality and the Moutere Clay, take a tour of the new studios that are beginning to surround Nelson.

About Nelson and Abel Tasman
An Expressions tailor-made holiday to Nelson and Abel Tasman encompasses a coastal and cultural region of New Zealand. This northernmost part of New Zealand's South Island is much favoured by visitors with its centre at Nelson, home to a multitude of painters, jewellers, potters, woodworkers and textile artists, its gently sloping vineyards, mild climate and outstandingly beautiful Abel Tasman National Park, accessible only by boat or on foot and full of miles of golden bays, rocky outcrops, lush, green interior. Behind Nelson rise the peaks of the tip of the Southern Alps and in between nestle the lakes of Rotoiti and Rotoroa. In this region, perhaps even more so than in other parts of New Zealand, you are very aware of the proximity of coast and mountains with fertile pastures, orchards and vineyards in between. Sheep rearing and fruit growing, fishing and mountain tramping all co-exist.
Highlights of Nelson and Abel Tasman
Spend at least one full day in the Abel Tasman approached from the water passing Split Apple rock, stopping perhaps at Anchorage Bay and seeing the seal colony at Tonga Rock, Whale watch at Kaikoura, See the seal colony at Ohau Point north of Kaikoura, Visit the Suter Art Galley in Nelson and combine it with a visit to the vibrant market on a Saturday, Day trip to Farewell Spit, Visit the vineyards of Rimu Grove, Neudorf and Woollaston Estates at Upper Moutere and perhaps have lunch at Seifried at Appelby, Visit the studios of numerous artists in the area, Go to the WOW (World of Wearable Art) in Nelson and the adjoining Collectible Cars Gallery.
