WHAT KIND OF WEST COAST HOLIDAY FLOATS YOUR BOAT?
Here on the West Coast we’ve got pretty great holidays for absolutely everyone.
Explore New Zealand’s highest mountains, heli-hike on gigantic glaciers, jet boat into world-heritage wilderness or hunt for rare treasures deep underground. Or just stay still and soak in natural hot pools, cosy up in cliff-top hideaways or retreat into luxury in a luscious rainforest.
PEOPLE WON’T BE ABLE TO GET HOLD OF US
Switch off from social media, free yourself from the family Whatsapp and escape into nature on a West Coast break.
The West Coast national parks are as diverse as they are huge — from palm-fringed beaches to rugged rainforest, alpine adventures to underground exploration.
OUR PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IS KIND OF DIFFERENT...
Leave the highway behind to follow a different byway.
Make a complete getaway. Pedal, paddle, hang on tight, sit back, relax and watch the ripples.
