Tourist Information About Nelson

The mix of nature, local history, and art gives a lot of character to the attractions in Nelson. A visit to the Abel Tasman National Park is always a highlight. The park's golden beaches, green headlands, and clear waters are even more impressive from the air, and a helicopter tour gives you a fresh view of this iconic spot.

Closer to the city, the walk up to the centre of New Zealand is short but rewarding, with views over Nelson and the coastline. Tahunanui Beach is also nearby and ideal for a relaxed day. There’s space for swimming, beach games, or just a walk along the sand.

Fans of The Lord of the Rings should stop by Jens Hansen’s workshop, where the real One Ring was made. Staff are happy to share behind-the-scenes stories. For more natural beauty, take a walk on the Cable Bay Track or visit Grampians Reserve, both with forest paths and wide views.
