West Coast

New Zealand's West Coast is a wild unspoilt wilderness brimming with scenic wonders, beautiful rivers, glaciers and ancient rainforests. New Zealand's West Coast is where the Southern Alps meets the wild Tasman Sea, stretching right down the South Island - a rugged region that is relatively sparsely populated due to its protected native forests, dense bushland and extensive mountain ranges. There is plenty to see and do here, including guided tours to see surreal geological formations, sightseeing flights and heli-tours, nature cruises and much more. The famous twins - the Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers can be found in this region where you can step foot on these giant rivers of ice that have existed for millennia. Choose from our range of day tours of the West Coast and a range of flights and West Coast activities below, and stay tuned for more experiences which will be added in the near future!
