Activity itinerary

Greymouth (Pass by)

We start by leaving Māwhera Greymouth Train Station/Visitor Centre. As we head south down State Highway 6, our knowledgeable guide will share insights into the local area.

Hokitika

30m

Hokitika is our first stop on our adventure. This ‘Cool Little Town’ is famous for its rugged black sand and driftwood laden coastline. After a brief photo stop at the beach to take in the surf and views of the Tasman Sea, you have the option to again explore the local shops or join the group on a trip to the Hokitika Gorge.

Hokitika Gorge Walk

1h
Admission ticket included

Perhaps one of the West Coast’s most iconic and photographed spots, on a fine day, its striking turquoise waters frame a distinct contrast from the mature native podocarp forest that borders it. With various lookout points offering different angles of the enchanting river, it is an incredibly popular destination for nature enthusiasts and photographers alike. The track itself is easy and undulating.

Lake Ianthe

5m

Surrounded by hills and native podocarp forests with a large flax swamp at its southern end, the lake is an important home for endangered wetland species such as the Great Crested Grebe. Situated in a former glacial trough, the lake is surrounded by a moraine and flows into the Wanganui River via Ianthe Creek. We make a brief stop here for photos before continuing through to Franz Josef.

Franz Josef

5m

Finally we arrive in Franz Josef. Sit back and relax after a wonderful day exploring the Southern Alps and West Coast. With your camera roll full, this trip will definitely be something to brag about! Drop off to central Franz Josef accommodations only.
