Review & FAQ:
Nelson Tasman is the sunniest region in all of New Zealand, and its landscapes - full of golden beaches, dense green forests, tall mountains, and freshwater springs - reflect that sunny demeanor. On a sea kayak tour, visitors can spot penguins, seals, and maybe even some dolphins, while on land they can visit Abel Tasman National Park. Nelson is a city famous for its Nelson Bay scallops, and restaurants along the coast will serve them with a delicious glass of local wine. It is also a city that has long drawn creative people into its arms, and the art galleries, craft fairs, and studios in the area provide visitors with an opportunity for a one-of-a-kind souvenir.
