Translation Results Requested Through Conyac Made Public

It should be noted that the coastal trail, while well-maintained, offers little in the way of facilities or mobile phone coverage. Walkers should be prepared with food and drink, proper footwear, cold/wet weather gear, and first aid supplies. You must also carry a map and research coastal tides prior to departure in order to complete the length of the route safely.
My route took me from south to north, which is the most common and easiest to link in with public transport; there are other combinations you might find more suitable.

Department of Conservation huts are the only accommodation available in most parts of the park; they must be booked well in advance, especially in summer, and they are minimally appointed so be sure to pack appropriately.

They have showers and toilets but no hot water. The huts do have kitchens but without any gas/electric, cutlery, pans, or other necessities – you will need to bring it all with you. Sleeping arrangements are bunk beds; take a sleeping bag and a pillow.
Getting there is the first challenge. Most fly direct into Christchurch from Australia or Auckland.
If you are travelling from Wellington there is a ferry Vistaservice to Picton. From either Picton or Christchurch you will need to take a bus to Nelson – known as the ‘gateway to Abel Tasman’ – or to Mouteka, which lies near the edge of the park.
