Bookings
Bookings are open for the 2024/25 season.
This year we have combined our Great Walks and huts and campsites booking systems. You only need a single account to book the Great Walks and all other accommodation.
If you don’t already have an account on the existing huts and campsites booking system you will need to create a new log in and account at DOC booking services.
Huts and campsites must be booked in advance year round. Book the Abel Tasman Coast Track online
Check the tide timetables before you book. You can only cross Awaroa Inlet in daylight, and within 1 hour 30 minutes before and 2 hours after low tide. Make sure your trip plan will fit this.
We also recommend checking transport times before booking, if you plan to use a shuttle or water taxi. Find shuttle services and water taxis for the Abel Tasman Coast Track.
If you don’t have a valid booking for your stay, you may be charged a penalty, or turned away if the hut/campsite is full.
Note: you can only book each hut/campsite for a maximum of two nights (1 October – 30 April) or five nights (1 May to 30 September). Tōtaranui Campsite can only be booked for one night all year.
