The Top Things to do in on the West Coast
New Zealand's West Coast is a wild unspoilt wilderness brimming with scenic wonders, beautiful rivers, glaciers and ancient rainforests. It's where the Southern Alps meets the wild Tasman Sea, and protected native forests feel more common than people. Here you may find yourself taking on the Franz Josef Glacier on a quad bike, darting around Mt Cook in a propeller plane, or going extreme with a heli-hike or skydive. The less adventurous will spend days ambling along serene nature tracks and devouring local produce and smooth wines. Make your trip to the West Coast of NZ extraordinary with our list of tours and activities below.
