The West Coast is a fantastic place for people who love the outdoors. One of the best things to do is explore the famous Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers. You can join guided walks on the ice or take a helicopter ride to see the glaciers from above. If hiking on glaciers isn’t your thing, there are plenty of forest walks nearby, where you can enjoy waterfalls and native birds.
Kayaking is a popular choice in calm rivers and bays, letting you see the coastline up close. The Pancake Rocks at Punakaiki are a must-see, and you can watch the powerful blowholes when the tide is right. Mountain biking trails run through the forests, offering different levels of challenge.
History lovers will enjoy visiting old gold mining towns and small museums that tell the story of early settlers. Fishing, beachcombing, and birdwatching are also great ways to spend time on the West Coast. These activities on the West Coast let you experience nature in many different ways.
