In particular, Waka Abel Tasman is an excellent, fun, informative and an all-age activity: https://wakaabeltasman.nz/school-groups/ .Other activities include Kaiteriteri Kayaks, Abel Tasman Canyons (1 October-30 April) and Abel Tasman EcoTours.
We also have our very own 60metre waterslide in Camp One, which is exclusively yours if you are hiring the whole camp. Simply turn the tap on and slide! Works for all ages!
Mountain biking at its best with three of New Zealand’s great tracks are at our doorstep. The trails are great in winter, less tourists just locals and pukekos, calm seas and lonely mountain tracks.

One of the most beautiful locations in New Zealand
Walking or kayaking in the Abel Tasman Park is especially good in the winter months, less people, calm seas, great fishing! We would love to help, as getting people gathered together is what Bethany Park is all about.

There are two venues to choose from, a large main hall with a wonderfully cosy area with a fireplace for up to 100 participants, and a small hall with self-catering kitchen, perfect for a group of 50 or less.
