Podcasts about Abel Tasman

Nick Thompson is a squash court engineer from the UK who builds all-glass courts for events like the New Zealand Open. Since 2022 he has returned almost every year, tagging on extra days to explore New Zealand and leading him to run Great Walks in a single day. He shares about that first year, running the Tongariro Northern Circuit on brownies alone and landing in hospital with an electrolyte crash, plus the Kepler and Queenstown Marathon. Nick talks about a 60km day on the Abel Tasman, and returning in 2025 for a slower, family-led trip. He breaks down his solo Hump Ridge Track push, where a missed signpost added 21km to his day, finishing in the dark. He reflects on hitting the ultra wall late in the day and the raw, vulnerable headspace it brought. Nick share about how New Zealand quiets his mind and is a place he loves revisiting.Thank you so much for tuning in and coming along for the ride.

Biodiversity has gained from the multi-million philanthropic investment in Abel Tasman, which is about to be handed over to the Department of Conservation. Project Janszoon is ending after 14 years of work and more than $21 million in investment. Samantha Gee reports.

For my birthday this year, my wife went above and beyond. I didn't want a product. I didn't want a thing. For the last year of my thirties, I asked for an experience. And a couple of months before the big day, I casually dropped it into conversation. “How would you feel,” I asked. “If for my birthday this year, you took on all of the family duties for a bit... So I can duck off for a couple of nights in the bush?” I'll admit to a bias —I've spent more time in that any other— but I reckon the Kahurangi might be our best National Park. Although Fiordland National Park obviously boasts the majesty of Milford, Doubtful, and Dusky Sounds, and Abel Tasman has the golden sand beaches, between the nikau groves meeting the Tasman and the true sub-alpine, I reckon nothing can rival the Kahurangi in terms of sheer variety of landscapes. I was reminded of that diversity this week, when, for my birthday escape, I joined my brother and brother-in-law and drove up the Wangapeka River enroute to climb Mt Owen. We started at the Blue Creek resurgence, where beautiful, perfect, clear water pours from the vast underground caves. Not too far away (as the crow flies) is the Pearse Resurgence, where cave divers recently set an extraordinary and terrifying record, diving 245m deep into the earth. Like so many beautiful spots in the South Island, the Kahurangi had a gold rush. Unfortunately for the hardy souls who braved the Wangapeka River in the 1860s, the quantities of gold recovered were ultimately modest at best. The older I get, the more I marvel at the ridiculous, old, gold works, the huge bits of rusted iron machinery that once upon a time took were hauled up the least-hospitable valleys, only to be abandoned and left to be slowly consumed by the bush. We climbed straight up. It was too steep for chatter and we soon fell into the rhythm of the bush. The crunch of our boots, the gasping, heavy breath, the birdsong. So much birdsong. Again, the older I get, the more I appreciate it. There were countless bellbirds, robins, piwakawaka, and my new favourite cutie of all the New Zealand natives: tomtits. We paused for a moment for a handful of pick-n-mix, and two tiny, sweet little rifleman came and perched on a twig right next to us. We climbed above the bushline and then down into another valley, up an old creekbed to the tidy DOC hut. It was pretty busy and we still had legs, so we kept climbing, up another hour to a couple of tarns, where we pitched our tents for the night. We were surrounded by three mighty limestone mountains, a little plateau with spongey earth and tussock. Mother Nature's colosseum. We dropped a couple of beers into the tarns to cool them off as we pitched our flies and cooked dinner. We were at 1500m. Hardly Everest, but high enough for the temperature to drop fast. One minute your clothes are rotting with sweat, the next you're double socking. We slept in puffer jackets and polyprops. Without any clouds or light pollution, the sky was so pure and bright. I had to pull a beanie over my eyes to try and doze off. Is it even tramping if you have a good night's sleep? In the morning we left our camp and started climbing before sunrise. From the little plateau, we worked up through the huge glaciated marble karst that builds to the mountain summit. You can see why these landscapes were chosen by the location scouts as Lord of the Rings country. Mind your step. Skip the crevasse. Up, up, up. The views from the top were awesome. Not just ‘awesome' as in good, but awesome in the true sense of inspiring awe. We could see incredible ranges on all sides, clouds sitting deep in the valleys below. In one, cloud spilled over the lip of an alpine ridge and down the otherside, like water tipping from a glass. Several times we all just stopped. How often in life are you ever in a time and place where we can't see or hear any sign of human civilisation? I'm impossible to buy for but for my birthday this year, my wife nailed it. I walked out with burning quads and a couple of blisters, so content, so full of gratitude. And to think these landscapes are there for all of us. That it's our home. What a gift, indeed.

Serait-ce la quête du pouvoir et de la gloire qui pousse les conquérants hors de leurs frontières ?La curiosité et la soif de savoir qui guident les pas des explorateurs ? Ou encore l'effervescence commerciale qui ouvre les grandes voies d'échanges entre les hommes ?Christian Grataloup répond à ces questions dans un tour du monde en images. Il suit ainsi les axes ancestraux que sont les routes la soie, des épices et des fourrures ; retrace les périples des explorateurs comme Christophe Colomb, Abel Tasman ou Guillaume Le Gentil ; et fait la part belle à des objets de curiosité d'apparence anodine ainsi qu'à des histoires insolites.L'ananas se révèle ainsi être le fruit de la mondialisation, la girafe un animal hautement diplomatique et l'étrier l'instrument décisif de grandes batailles.C'est ainsi qu'à partir d'un objet, d'un événement, d'un personnage, ce spécialiste de la « géohistoire » explore les grands mouvements de l'histoire des hommes et du monde.Christian Grataloup est notre invité en studioHébergé par Audiomeans.

In part two, DOC is pulling out of maintaining a popular track leading to a natural sinkhole in Abel Tasman. Local resident and caver Gerard Hindmarsh is incensed. Then, Toyota Corollas and Bentleys alike are lining up to reach record-breaking speeds at this year's Landspeed Trials. Organiser John Secombe breaks it down.

After up on a farm in rural Waikato, Lois Baldwin travelled and lived around the world through her 20s and 30s, raising a family overseas. It wasn't until her 40s that she started tramping and she's now gone on to complete all New Zealand's Great Walks. Lois loves bringing people together for tramping and has planned several family hikes with her kids and grandkids, including Abel Tasman and Waikaremoana with as many as 17 people! After first hiking Lake Waikaremoana in 1999, she returned in 2025 as a family, sharing about logistics, booking, transport, water taxis and what to expect if you're planning the tramp. Abigail & Isaac are kayaking for 1,000km from Cape Reinga to Tauranga in Feb-Mar 2026 to raise $20,000 for mental health and the ocean.

The Abel Tasman walk has been returned to its original owners - but the Conservation Minister's unsure how it'll affect the iconic tramp's price-tag. The Government's today signed an agreement to restore thousands of hectares of land in the upper South Island to descendants of original owners, Te Tauihu. It includes a 25-year agreement to continue the Great Walk. Minister Tama Potaka says walk management remains with the Department of Conservation, public access guaranteed. "There are arrangements in place around a number of issues - those arrangements remain confidential." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Miriam Sessa, Davide Castorina e Angelo Tedoldi si alternano a raccontare elementi importanti per capire la storia di Aotearoa. La conversazione si snoda sulle seguenti domande: Quando sono arrivati i primi umani in Aotearoa? Cosa stava accadendo nel mondo e in Italia in quel periodo? Cosa sappiamo delle società Māori prima dell'arrivo degli europei? Quando sono arrivati i primi europei in Aotearoa? Qual è stato il primo impatto coi Māori? Cosa ha motivato l'Impero Britannico a stabilirsi in Aotearoa? Parlano del leggendario navigatore polinesiano Kupe, e di sua moglie che vedendo una lunga nuvola bianca ricoprire questa terra la chiamò Aotearoa. Raccontano i 700 anni precedenti all'arrivo degli europei e di come i Māori vivevano organizzati in hapū, strutture sociali fortemente legate alla terra e alle risorse naturali. Ci parlano dei viaggi esplorativi di Abel Tasman a James Cook; del ruolo della Chiesa nel progetto coloniale e della dottrina della scoperta che dava  giustificazione spirituale e legale al rivendicare terre se non erano abitate da cristiani. Tante considerazioni importanti per allontanarsi da una visione eurocentrica della storia. Per il supporto alla realizzazione di questo programma, Ondazzurra ringrazia il Ministry of Ethnic Communities, che promuove la diversità ed inclusione in Aotearoa, e COGS Auckland City, che sostiene iniziative non-profit rivolte alla comunità. https://www.ethniccommunities.govt.nz/

Hannah, Isabel and Harriet are three friends from Motueka who set out to link their local national parks in one continuous 18-day journey and why connecting the Nelson Lakes, Kahurangi and Abel Tasman felt meaningful after growing up in the region. They share what it was like to climb five ranges in six days, deal with blisters and rain-soaked gear, bike between sections and paddle into whitecaps on the Abel Tasman. Fresh strawberries at food drops, long ridgeline days and tiny huts all became part of the rhythm. The trio reflects on the joy of moving under their own steam from St Arnaud to Marahau, the moments that pushed them and the pride they felt finishing something they had dreamed up together.Discover the best of New Zealand with my NZ Map & Guide, featuring 100+ incredible locations for your next adventure.

A more analogue type of vacation at a new retreat. Created by Kiwi Michelin Star Chef Toby Stuart and his wife Sabina Bronicka-Stuart, ‘Slow Stay' is a luxury retreat over the Abel Tasman. The idea is to switch off technology and relax, recuperate, recharge, and reconnect with one another and the world around us. It's tapping into the global wellness tourism market, which is projected to hit US$2.1 trillion by 2030 – growing at 12% per year. Stuart told Mike Hosking that while it's not cheap, there is value for money. Some of the things included are dinner, breakfast, yoga classes, and wellness facilities, and he says it's up to guests whether they want to embrace the wellness elements or embrace a bit of indulgence.

A new programme called 'Report a Robin' begins in Abel Tasman National Park today, and visitors are being asked to get involved. Robins, which have been largely absent from the area for the last 30 years, are making a comeback thanks to habitat restoration and predator control. Project Janszoon is calling on visitors to report sightings of the birds, especially along the coastal track, from today until the end of the month. Programme director Bruce Vander Lee.

De in 1944 geboren Feiko Bouman vertrok op 7-jarige leeftijd met zijn ouders van Groningen naar Australië. Daar groeide hij later uit tot een succesvol architect. Zo mocht hij meewerken aan de High Court of Australia in Canberra. En The Australian Stockman's Hall of Fame in Longreach Queensland is ook van zijn hand. Nu wil Feiko in het Groningse Lutjegast een museum neerzetten voor de ontdekker van Tasmanië, Abel Tasman. Onze verslaggever Jeroen Schouten sprak met hem over zijn plannen, maar vroeg hem eerst naar de 6-weekse bootreis die hem naar Australië bracht.

In this episode, Debbie and Josie interview Lee-Anne Jago, owner of Waka Abel Tasman. Lee-Anne and her husband Todd offer waka experiences in the Abel Tasman within a cultural framework of Maori tikanga and world view. They place their community at the heart of everything they do in their business and are passionate about uplifting rangatahi (young people) and supporting their community to thrive.  Our conversation with Lee-Anne is in many ways a summary of the regenerative tourism principles we've discussed in previous episodes; demonstrating how tourism can help communities thrive, create deep and meaningful connections, place purpose and passion at the heart of business, and be more resilient and adaptive in this VUCA world. We hope you find much value and inspiration in this example of regenerative tourism. This episode is the final interview for season 1 of the GOOD Awaits podcast. We will be sharing one more episode, an extended reflection with Debbie and Josie to harvest some of the stories and learnings from the podcast.
