        Great tour
        Great way to see the west coast. The weather held up at each stop for us to explore. Having a small group really sped up our journey.

        Beautiful and the drive from South is amazing
        This is a can't miss visit and very easy walk where there are several lookout locations to view the rocks. Apparently you need to time the tide to high tide to see the blow holes work (we were mid tide and saw nothing) but the views are still incredible.

        Family visit to Punakaiki
        The rock formations are fantastic. Paths on the walk are great. A pity though that you can't take a dog on lead on the path.

        Totally worth visiting...
        WORTH stopping to view this amazing formation of rocks. We were there at low tide and I wondered if we had of timed it for high tide how ferociously spectacular it would have been in comparison to the low tide which was ALSO very beautiful. Definitely worth visiting... amazing Mother Nature wowing us with her splendour...

        Pancake Rocks and Blowholes
        The guide was a local who was very knowledgeable, interesting, friendly and accommodating. A thorough professional. The scenery was brilliant (as expected from this lovely country, New Zealand). The Pancake rocks and blow holes path is easy to walk at your own pace. Highly recommend this tour.

        Interesting sites near Greymouth
        New small bus, cranky but actually very nice guide, beautiful coast, interesting rocks and plants, this was a great way to spend 3+ hours after the train from Christchurch and before hitting the pubs. Plus, we didn’t need to rent a car for our night in Greymouth.

        Amazing natural site
        Absolutely impressed by this natural wonder, we were advised to go near high tide and saw amazing wave surges in the blow holes. Really good paths around the site , wheelchair friendly for a large section. Free to enter but happy to donate as so wonderful

        Well worth the trip
        Great local place to experience. We didn't see active blowholes but lots of surges and the rocks are so unique. .Well maintained pathways with great viewing spots. Comfortable coach with experienced driver who had good knowledge of the area.

        The best day
        Excellent. I would recommend to anyone visiting the West coast. Was not sure what to expect and as people said that it wasn't the best time to go was prepared to be disappointed but in fact it was great.

      Many interesting viewpoints along the way. The gorge walk was though, but worth It. The treetop walkway gives the impression of being in another world... I would've preferred the two to be separate exploration activities though...a bit tough on those who don't have the time or the inclinación to tackle both in one go.

      Wow! Bob picked us up from Hotel Lake Brunner and took us back to Hokitika for the tour. It was just my husband and I on the tour which was kind of neat really. Bob is a fountain of knowledge, telling us about all the different things on the way.
      Hokitika Gorge is just truly amazing, the water was a milky blue due to all the rain and was just stunning. The walk is easy with beautiful scenery, swing bridges and lush forest.
      The tree top canopy walk was great. This attraction has been well designed and again is an easy walk.
      We stopped in Greymouth for lunch on the way back and saw a bit of the town which was great as we had not been there for around 25 years.
      Thank you Bob for a great day out.

      Exceeded our expectations. Picked up from our accommodation on time and met Trev our driver who made the trip memorable with his vast local knowledge. A real West Coast amdasador. Unfortunately raining when we left Greymouth but miraculously cleared when we arrived at the Hokatika Gorge and the treetop walkway. Both venues were amazing in their own ways. Got us back to the Transalpine train on time. This tour was a trip highlight and we loved it.

      Every time you turn a corner, there is somethng even more brathtaking to look at. I could have spent hours ther just been bowled over by the natural beauty. Make sure that you are wearing sensible shoes as there is a fair bit of walking invovled and some of it is up hill.
      The mini bus driver, Bob, was lovely. Knowledgable and very friendly. Lots of local stories and a great advocate for New Zealand.
      if you get the chance to do this trip, do it!

      It took us about an hour to do the Hokitika Tree Top Walkway. The walk was very easy. The scenery was very nice. For people that want more thrills, you can take a zip line from the top of a tower to the starting point. There is also a cafe for light refreshments.

      The treetop walkway is way more impressive than expected and definitely worth a visit. A massive impressive structure high above the canopy gives a totally different view of out beautiful rain forests. Easy walk, great cafe. They have golf buggy to get you up hill to start if needed. Well worth it.

      We really enjoyed walking around here. Worth doing even when the weather changed and it rained. It would be better to have walked around here on a dry day but worth getting wet for.
