Golden Bay is a vibrant, unforgettable part of Nelson region. The spectacular drive over Takaka Hill
winds through a granite and marble landscape, and the views from the top are spectacular. Golden Bay
is also connected to the rest of Nelson by the Abel Tasman Coastal Track. It is a landscape fairly
caught between an idyllic unspoiled coastline and the massive wilderness that is Kahurangi National
Park. Kahurangi is mostly rugged country and a nature lover's delight. There are good tracks,
including the popular Heaphy Track through to Karamea on the West Coast, and the Wangapeka. Natural
features of Golden Bay include the crystal clear freshwater springs (reputed to be the world's
clearest) at Te Waikoropupu (Pupu) Springs and Farewell Spit, the northern-most tip of the South
Island. 4WD tours to Farewell Spit depart daily from Collingwood. Throughout Golden Bay there are
also cafes and entertainment venues of style and character and numerous art outlets. Catch your own
salmon at Anatoki Salmon and have it prepared on site.
