Abel Tasman Coast Track: 60 km in Tasman
The Abel Tasman Coast Track is a named DOC Great Walk in Tasman. The governing figure used here is 60 km (DOC · Abel Tasman Coast Track), not a straight line between towns.
Typical time on the route is 3 to 5 days. Grade: Walking track. Season window: Year-round.
DOC length 60 km. Water taxis mean you can walk any section. Tides at Awaroa Inlet are not optional — miss the window and you wait hours. Marahau and Kaiteriteri hold the beds; Totaranui is the northern campsite road end.
The itinerary on this page is the published stop sequence: Marahau, Anchorage, Awaroa, Totaranui. Cabins and holiday homes load live around each stop; hut and trailhead pins without a town page still search by radius.
Book DOC huts and Great Walks on the DOC system where that applies. Town beds are what this site lists. Carry the day’s food on remote legs — several of these routes have no shop between ends.

Distances, grades and seasons above follow DOC · Abel Tasman Coast Track. Confirm opening dates, slips and hut bookings on the operator or DOC page before you travel; alpine and West Coast tracks close or reroute after weather.
