Abel Tasman Coast Track (Bark Bay - Marahau)

Route bordering the coast of the Abel Tasman park, from the bay of Bark Bay to the town of Marahau.
It must be said that I would have loved to be able to complete the entire Park route, but for this you have to be equipped to spend the night and have more days of vacation, which is impossible in my case.
With which, having only 1 day, I did the longest I thought I could do. So, I booked the taxi from Marahau to Bark Bay. The taxi, if the tide allows it, takes you to visit the Split Apple Rock first, and, after making a couple of previous stops, it leaves us on the beautiful beach of Bark Bay.
Almost everyone who was going to do a route got off there. I took it easy and walked around the campsite and the beach before starting the route.
The route is similar throughout almost the entire route, among a lot of vegetation and continuous ups and downs of unevenness, crossing small bridges over waterfalls. In addition, from time to time there are ledges that take you to a small cove or a viewpoint with good views of the landscape... they are usually 5 minutes with a small ascent or descent.
In this first section, there is the only suspension bridge that I saw, and it is quite simple.
Thus, after almost a couple of hours you arrive at Torrent Bay.
Just before going down, the views of the bay are fabulous.
At this point, if the tide is low, they say that you can cross to Anchorage without having to go along the sea. For not waiting, I decided to skirt and, upon reaching Anchorage, the tide was still high, so if I had waited I would have been quite bored.
Here in Torrent Bay, at your campsite, I stopped to eat something and regain strength, and now, as I was caught on the way, I detoured to see Cleopatra's Pool, with a 10-minute walk, although the truth was a disappointment, I expected something else . Any pool in any river in Spain is the same or more beautiful.
Leaving that area came the curious part of the route... It was cut off, and a river had to be crossed. There were older people there who were having a hard time, since they were slippery barefoot, it was cold and the water was almost waist deep.
It was funny, and after crossing it and a walk I arrived at the Anchorage beach and campground, where again I made a stop.
From here it had already passed half the way and it started to rain and and it would not stop doing it all the way. I arrived quite soaked.
The path from here on was already somewhat more monotonous, with beautiful views, between vegetation and animals, and with some ledge towards viewpoints or bays... Observation Beach or Coquille Beach among others.
Then you pass the Camping de Tinline and skirting the coast you reach the footbridges that end the route to Marahau.
You pass the arch that indicates the beginning or end of the path and you are already in the town, and from there on the way to the hostel for another little while next to the beach.
For me it is a long, beautiful, tiring route and highly recommended if you like trekking... The pity is not having more days to complete it.
we will have to go back
