The West Coast of the South Island is a piece of country many Kiwis dream of visiting, there’s no where else that matches the stunning landscapes and variety of Te Tai Poutini. It’s also rich in history, wildlife and has some really interesting human beings you’ll encounter too! Here’s a collection of our favourite West Coast pictures from our tours over the last few seasons.
