No, Abel Tasman did not circumnavigate New Zealand. In 1642, he became the first European to sight and map parts of New Zealand's coastline, but he only explored the northern part of the North Island and parts of the South Island. His journey was limited, and he did not complete a full circumnavigation of the islands. The first complete circumnavigation of New Zealand was achieved later by Captain James Cook in 1769.
