Marahau (Maori: "Mārahau") is a very small settlement in the Tasman Region of the South Island of New Zealand, approximately 19 kilometres (12 mi) north of Motueka. Its location on Tasman Bay and at the southern entrance of Abel Tasman National Park makes it a popular holiday destination for those keen on outdoor activities. People access the Abel Tasman from Marahau by tramping, kayaking and water taxi.[2] In Marahau itself, the beach offers sheltered and safe swimming, and horse trekking is popular throughout the busy summer season.[3]
