When you visit Nelson for the Top of the South 2026 mega event, make sure to check out Abel Tasman Sea Shuttles and organise a full day or half day cruise to some amazing caching locations! Whether you want to find a secluded spot in the National Park, or hike one way and boat the other, this will be sure to be a highlight of your mega trip! Win a scenic flight! 15 Mar 2026  Thanks to our mega partner, Golden Bay Air, we have a scenic flight out of Takaka for 2 to give away to one lucky Top of the South Cachefest 2026 supporter. We've decided that it would be best to draw a winner before the event so that the winner has a good opportunity to arrange to take their scenic flight during their visit to Nelson for the Top of the South 2026 mega event. We will draw a winner from all purchasers of Top of the South 2026 supporter packs, and this draw will take place on the 10th of October. Scenic flight voucher will be emailed to the lucky winner, and will be valid to be used up until 1st March 2027.
