Bookings

Bookings are open for the 2024/25 season.

Huts and campsites must be booked in advance year round. Book the Abel Tasman Coast Track online

Check the tide timetables before you book. You can only cross Awaroa Inlet in daylight, and within 1 hour 30 minutes before and 2 hours after low tide. Make sure your trip plan will fit this.

We also recommend checking transport times before booking, if you plan to use a shuttle or water taxi. Find shuttle services and water taxis for the Abel Tasman Coast Track.

If you don’t have a valid booking for your stay, you may be charged a penalty, or turned away if the hut/campsite is full.

Note: you can only book each hut/campsite for a maximum of two nights (1 October – 30 April) or five nights (1 May to 30 September). Tōtaranui Campsite can only be booked for one night all year.

School groups are only permitted to book to camp at Tinline, Apple Tree, Anchorage, Bark Bay, Onetahuti, Awaroa, Totaranui, Mutton Cove and Whariwharangi campsites.

School groups are not permitted to book at any of the other Abel Tasman campsites for any reason. Bookings made at any campsite not named above will be cancelled.

School bookings are limited to a maximum of 40 youths (with no limit on adult helpers) per site, per night.
