Glassblowing studio, Nelson.
In the Nelson region you can watch skilled glass artists at work. If you'd like to go a step further, there are glassblowing, bead-making and paperweight-making classes held throughout the year. Glass blowing and casting have become synonymous with Nelson, and there are many wonderful works for sale in our city's many art galleries.

Awaroa Inlet, Abel Tasman National Park.
You'd be hard pushed to find a coastal environment more beautiful than this one. Against a canvas of blue sky and native bush, crystal clear water swirls into Awaroa Inlet, where you can explore a delicious assortment of perfect little beaches. This piece of paradise is accessible by walking track, kayak or water taxi.
At the time of writing (26 January 2007), Nelson's largest and newest tourist vessel, Caretta, a 17 meter (56ft) 70 passenger catamaran was only taking between 45 and 50 minutes to cruise from Nelson Port (a few minutes from Amber House) across Tasman Bay to the beautiful Abel Tasman National Park

Horse trek, Wharariki Beach.
Horse trekking is one of the many activities you can enjoy in the Nelson-Tasman region. At beautiful Wharariki Beach, (a good days drive over the `Marble Mountain' and beyond Farewell Spit and back again to Amber House) you'll notice that the sand is rippled by the action of water and wind. Massive cliffs and sand dune formations give this portion of the coast incredible character. Sometimes you'll find fur seals sunning themselves on the rocks.

Mountain biking, Nelson.
Mountain bikers are welcome on many of the hiking tracks in the Nelson area, including favourites such as the Dun Mountain Walkway, Tantragee Saddle and Rameka Track. At the time of writing (26 January 2007), we have Peter Oskam staying with us who hopes to become New Zealand's downhill champion in the morning. Bikes are available for hire from us and elsewhere in the city and the local visitor information centre can direct you to the track that best matches your skill and fitness level.

Nelson potter at work.
There are potters scattered throughout the Nelson area and many of them welcome visitors to their workshops and galleries. Our region has its own clay resources and local minerals are used to make glazes. Over the years, Nelson's ceramic art has evolved from the earthy shapes and colours of the 60's to the highly decorated, impressionist pieces of today.
