Flight Guide from Hamilton to Nelson

What can you do in Nelson over the weekend?

Visit Abel Tasman National Park

Abel Tasman is the smallest national park in New Zealand, but it’s far from lacking in things to see and do. A large portion of the park borders Tasman Bay, so spending time on the beaches and taking part in water activities are must-dos for many visitors. Explore the Abel Tasman coast by kayak, stand up paddle board, or canoe, or enjoy some scuba diving. A few can’t-miss landmarks in Abel Tasman National Park include Torrent Bay, Split Apple Rock, and the Abel Tasman Coast Track. The trail stretches for 53 kilometres (33 miles) in total, but you can choose to walk a small section of it while holidaying on cheap flights from Hamilton to Nelson.

 

Hike Botanical Hill

Botanical Hill has two major claims to fame: it was used as the country’s centre point in an 1870s land survey and it was also where New Zealand’s first rugby game was played. Hike to the top of the hill where you can visit the Centre of New Zealand landmark and take in incredible views of Nelson and the Tasman Bay. The hiking trail is an easy 1.6 kilometres (1 mile) and is also teeming with beautiful native plants and birds that you can see while holidaying on cheap flights to Nelson from Hamilton.

 

Spend a day at Tahunanui Beach

Tahunanui Beach is located southwest of the city centre, and it’s a must-do if you book Hamilton to Nelson flights in search of a warm-weather holiday. The water is calm and safe for swimming, making Tahunanui Beach especially popular among families with kids. Take a walk on the beach at low tide, and you’ll also see a cool collection of rock pools that are teeming with fish, small crabs, and sea snails.
