Travel: National Parks

What to look out for on a visit to Abel Tasman in New Zealand

New Zealand’s smallest national park is also among its most popular, as much for its golden sandy beaches as for its natural wonders. With black beech forests ringing with birdsong and waters splashed by seals, dolphins and penguins, it’s also a delight for wildlife lovers. A major ecological restoration programme, called Project Janszoon, aims to return the park to its pre-colonial state.
