Explore one of the six captivating New Zealand destinations featured in the Minecraft universe.
To celebrate the release of "A MINECRAFT MOVIE", 100% Pure New Zealand has partnered with Warner Bros. and Mojang Studios to create a version of Minecraft set in New Zealand. The free Aotearoa New Zealand DLC (downloadable content) takes players on a journey through some of New Zealand’s most breathtaking locations, from iconic landmarks to hidden gems.
Once described by The Times as New Zealand’s best-kept secret, Abel Tasman National Park has plenty to boast about.
Clocking up some of the country’s longest sunshine hours, Abel Tasman National Park offers an irresistible combination of all-day sunshine and spectacular scenery. Here, golden sandy beaches and emerald seas glitter more than a Versace gown. This is the perfect spot for camping, hiking, and hours of leisurely kayaking.
The park’s crowning glory is the Abel Tasman Coast Track, one of the country’s eleven great walks. But if you’re not ready for the five-day commitment it requires, a Waka Abel Tasman tour is just as much fun. Although it’s not without some effort, you’ll need to paddle. On a traditional Māori waka (double-hulled canoe), you’ll help steer the waka along Abel Tasman’s spectacular coastline to Toka Ngāwha (Split Apple Rock) – a giant spherical boulder that was cleft in two like sliced fruit on a platter. Guides will also teach you about the region’s Māori history and how to introduce yourself in the Māori language. The tour’s founders, husband and wife duo Lee-Anne and Todd, began the tours as a way of sharing their Māori culture and their love of the ocean. It’s a winning combination that will have you aching to return someday.
