Nelson and Tasman

At the top of the South Island you're find the Nelson Tasman region. For sure she's a real gem! Imagine a place where you can start your day on a pristine beach, then head to the mountain tops for an afternoon adventure. Along the way you'll soak up some local art and culture.

It's the perfect spot for anyone looking to have a bit of everything, from outdoor fun to artsy vibes. You've gotta see it to believe it!
