Only thing is, I overdid it a bit by walking a part of the track that hikers generally take 2 days to walk, in 1 day (9 hours with many brief stops for pics). Abel Tasman national park is a definite must-do for tourists. Thanks, Dave, for corroborating how gorgeous the South Island really is. I did that “water taxi walk back” combo too back in 2001.

Just wanted to point out that even the locals enjoy some of the amazing outdoor lifestyle New Zealand is famed for.
