Boulder Bank
- Location
- Access to the Boulder Bank is from Boulder Bank Drive (off Atawhai Drive (State Highway 6)) or by boat from Nelson. A ferry service is available from Nelson.
- Description
The plains and low hills around Nelson and Motueka are known as the Waimea Basin. Tramping, hunting, water sports and walks through historically and ecologically significant areas await visitors.
A walk along the Nelson Boulder Bank is an opportunity not to be missed. The eight kilometre walk, from Boulder bank Drive to 'The Cut' takes 2-3 hours one way. The Boulder Bank is rough, dry and very exposed, so be prepared for all kinds of weather and wear strong shoes.
