West Coast Holiday Park Location

Our West Coast holiday park is easy driving distance to the Haast Visitor's Centre, forest/beach walks and scenic Jackson's Bay. Helicopter rides to Milford Sound, Mt Aspiring, Mt Cook and the Glaciers are available locally.

Jet boating safaris through pristine rain forest on the Haast and Waiatoto rivers are highly recommended. Scooter and bicycle rentals as well as fishing and hunting safaris can also be arranged. Penguin, dolphin and seal viewing opportunities are seasonally available.

West Coast Attractions and Activities

The West Coast region offers a variety of short scenic walks and hiking opportunities, as well as exciting adventure activities for all ages and levels of competence. Anglers will find they are in paradise anywhere on the coast.

Try rafting a subterranean stream through a weird world of stalactites, stalagmites and glow-worms. Between Westport and Greymouth is a wild, ruggedly beautiful coastline that features the unique Pancake Rocks and blowholes at Punakaiki.

Near Whataroa, on the shores of the Okarito Lagoon, is New Zealand's only nesting colony of the white heron (kotuku). Boat trips on this primeval swamp reveal these elegant birds in their natural glory.

Graded glacier trips at both Fox and Franz Josef accommodate every level of fitness and experience, and there are scenic flights and helicopter excursions for those who wish to view the glaciers from the air.

The coast is also strewn with relics of the heady gold rush days of the 1860s, and tracks and walks explore many of the old workings. You can try your hand at gold panning at Shantytown, a replica goldfield town of last century, near Greymouth.
