Nelson Lakes Angelus Hut Tramp & Able Tasman Coastal Walk - South Island New Zealand

Описание: Join Kiwi Princess Wears Hiking Boots on our spectacular Nelson Lakes Angelus Hut Tramp & Able Tasman Coastal Walk - in the South Island of New Zealand. Nelson Lakes offers superb walking opportunities for all.



We decided on a New Zealand Backcountry Tramp (navigational experience etc. required) in the Nelson Lakes National Park. starting from the picturesque Lake Rotoiti to Angelus Hut and Lake Angelus (1 of 5 glacial basins you'll pass) and exting down the uber steep Cedric Track to tranquil Lake Rotoroa and out by water taxi!!
From St Arnaud head up to Robert Ridge Carpark for a fabulous hike along Robert Ridge to the Angelus Basin and delightfully situated Angelus Hut (bookings essential in peak season) run by DOC.
The weather was changeable & moody. Whilst mist was our constant companion it loaned a mystical feel to this rugged New Zealand Landscape. It was a thrilling backcountry tramp and our most glam exit yet!
Nelson Lakes National Park is an attractive outdoor playground for boating, swimming, fishing and hunting.
We also hiked in the nearby Able Tasman National Park. The Able Tasman Coastal Walk (a formatted NZ Great Walk) requires average fittness & preparation. The track's well marked and distances between campsites/accomodation are relatively short. We decided on a single day return hike on the Able Tasman Coastal Track (due to the aftermath of Cyclone Gita). Day One - Marahau to Anchorage is 3.5 - 4 hours each way. Drop down to Appletree Bay on the way for a toilet stop, or a picnic and a swim (weather permitting).
