About the West Coast, New Zealand
Taste possum pie at Pukekura, pan for gold in Shantytown, hike the glacier at Fox or Franz Josef, there’s just so much to do in this magical part of New Zealand.
If you are lucky enough to travel the West Coast on one of its crystal clear days, don’t miss the opportunity to take a scenic flight up and over the mountains, you won’t believe the sights!
The northern end of this wild, historic coast has a special micro climate. Here you can venture onto the famed Heaphy Track or just enjoy the majestic native bush.
View the wonderful natural forest from above with a treetops walk or try some white water rafting.
No one should drive past the incredible rock formations at Punakaiki without stopping to marvel, and if time allows take a day walk into the Paparoa National Park.

The other option is a 1.5 hour ride along the Beach and Farm Terrace, which offers the chance to enjoy the spectacular Tasman Sea views and a beach all to ourselves.
All rides can be catered for, from the very beginner to experience a pleasant walk in great scenery, to a little more, perhaps a trot here and there or even the chance to have a canter if you so desire.
