Welcome to the Nelson & Tasman Region!

The wider Nelson/Tasman Bay region is a vibrant place, especially in summer. Holidaymakers from all over the world buzz into our region exploring the beaches, national parks and enjoying local cafes, restaurants and shops. There are plenty of things to do in and around Nelson and you surely find something you'll enjoy. Sailing, festivals, fishing, beach days, mountain biking, wine & craft beer tastings, kite surfing, skiing, arts & crafts, markets, top notch restaurants, you name it. During the winter season you can also visit our Rainbow Ski field at the Nelson Lakes National Park.

Nelson 360 is a visual guide that gives you a glimpse of what is waiting to be discovered and helps you plan your visit. We also include destinations that you can reach with day trips from Nelson.

Whenever possible we create 360 VR panoramas because if a picture is worth a thousand words, a 360 panorama will  tell you the whole story! If you get a chance to see it on a VR headset it will give an even more immersive experience.
