West Coast - South Island

The West Coast encapsulates five national Parks covering an array of scenic highlights including New Zealand’s highest mountain, longest caves and famously the lowest and most accessible glaciers in the world. The Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers set against a lush green rainforest are an unforgettable sight and make this region a must do destinations. Sightseeing tours depart daily year round from Queenstown and connect with InterCity Coachlines services to and from Greymouth further up the West Coast. Please note the West Coast is very popular during the summer months and passengers are advised to book early.

Interesting fact: There are approximately 3,100 glaciers larger than a hectare within New Zealand.
