Each week, we highlight our fave tramping trails in New Zealand for day and multi day hikes across Nelson Tasman (and beyond!)
Whether you’re a local Nelsonian or just travelling through, the Cable Bay walkway is a MUST! Expect stunning cliff-top coastal views of the bay, the boulderbank and Pepin Island.
Distance: 8km one-way
Elevation: 650m gain
We’d recommend starting from Glenduan and finishing up at Rotokura/Cable Bay to make the most of the views.. And also to stop by the Cable Bay Cafe afterwards for a coffee and a tasty treat!
Before you go you’ll need to organise transport, some options include: car swapping with a friend, parking a car at each end or getting a lift (or hitching if that’s your thing).
After starting out with a grunty climb, you’ll enter a section of beautiful native forest that gently undulates and is filled with incredible mushrooms this time of year!
Say howdy to the local residents 🐄🐑 - they’re friendly we promise 😉
