4 Must Do Experiences in New Zealand's West Coast

We asked our crew, from office to road, to give us some of their top tips for anyone travelling on the Wild West Coast. Here our 4 must-do when in New Zealand's West Coast.

1. Talk to a Local

Make time to chat to a local, known as 'coasters' they enjoy telling a good yarn

2. Heli-hike on Fox Glacier

Treat yourself to a heli hike on Fox Glacier and you won’t be disappointed. Whilst it costs a bit more the opportunity to hike on pristine ice and the helicopter ride in make this a genuine once in a lifetime experience.

Visit the glow worm caves for free in Punakaiki

3. Free Glow worm caves

Ask your guides about the glow worm caverns and wave rock at Pancake Rocks. These amazing natural phenomena are a short walk from the campsite and best of all they are free!

Take the time on the West Coast of the South Island to grab some stunning sunset photos as the sun sets on the horizon - it's hard to beat a sunset over the water
