This tour gives you the chance to relax and enjoy the sights and tastes along our route through the Grey and Buller districts, although a moderate fitness is required as you walk around firstly Punakaiki and then up to the seal colony. See the coastal Highway, among the top 10 highways in the world. Discover the delights the West Coast has to offer in scenery and less well known treats such as the Shortjaw brewery (Tuesday to Saturday) or Historic mining areas. Let your driver do all the work while you admire the views, sample beer and spirits or learn a bit about the natural environment and local history that makes the West Coast a unique and "must see" part of your visit.
Sundays in summer we may stop at the Fox River Market.

5.00We had an incredible day touring the west coast. The scenery is so incredibly beautiful. The rock formations of the pancake rocks is interesting, the seal colonies so fun, and the towns from Westport inland to finish a day that simply flew by. Our guide Jackie was so knowledgeable about the area and passionate about the ecology and culture it took our trip from incredible to unforgettable! Highly recommend. .
