Mārahau Outdoor Education Camp sits on Sandy Bay-Marahau Road in the small coastal settlement of Mārahau, directly across from wide golden beaches and a sheltered inlet at the edge of Abel Tasman National Park.

The camp accommodates up to 69 people and is surrounded by native and exotic forests, farmlets, hills, streams, and wetlands.

Operated by a charitable trust, the facility is primarily available to registered schools for Education Outside the Classroom (EOTC), and also supports local organisations, craft clubs, sporting groups, at-risk youth programmes, and Māori language initiatives during weekends and school holidays.

On-site and nearby activities include kayaking, swimming, yachting, hiking, estuary exploration, paddle boarding, waka ama, water taxi trips, and visits to Ngarua Caves and local glow-worm sites.
