Majestic mountains, crystal-clear lakes and a sparse population are the hallmarks of New Zealand's
West Coast. This 600km-long region plunges westward from the awe-inspiring Southern Alps, through
lush rainforests to a breathtaking coast. Packed in between the peaks of the Alps and the Tasman Sea
are landscapes of lakes, rushing rivers, limestone, granite, glacial ice, subtropical and temperate
rainforests, rare birds and plant species, and endless recreational opportunities. Visitors will
find museums and historic buildings dedicated to the pioneers of the region. Art and craft
galleries, fine food, accommodation and local guides are found the length of the coast. Light plane
services connect with scenic spots within the region. Another way to travel to and from the coast is
on one of the world's great rail journeys aboard the TranzAlpine train, which travels between
Greymouth and Christchurch.
