Split Apple Rock (Tokangawhā): Nature’s Iconic Slice of Magic

Split Apple Rock, or Tokangawhā, is a striking granite formation near the Abel Tasman National Park, shaped like an apple cut in half. Nestled on a bed of rocks and gently caressed by the sea, it sits just meters from a golden beach, where hints of magnetic black sand add a touch of magic.

This iconic natural phenomenon is a must-see stop for visitors to the Abel Tasman and a perfect backdrop for intimate elopements, proposals, or photoshoots. Tide times play a key role in capturing the best imagery, and with years of experience, we can advise on the ideal times for a private and exclusive experience.

For a truly memorable day, Split Apple Rock can be combined with a scenic charter around Adele and Fisherman’s Island and the Abel Tasman National Park, where a picnic or champagne toast can enhance the adventure.

Recommended Upgrades: Hair & makeup, styling, professional photography and videography, accommodation (Plan B), and any further add-ons are available, subject to availability and additional charges.

Access: The site is reachable by car and a short but steep walking track or via a charter boat, providing flexible options to suit your preferred style of celebration.
