The West Coast Travel team is abysmal at communication and honestly ruined the entire overall experience for me due to a lack of courtesy, professionalism and communication. After the initial booking confirmation email, I received no correspondence from them in the week leading up to my trip. And despite the many emails I sent off asking for confirmation that my pick up address was confirmed, I received no correspondence from them. It got to the day of, and despite my many emails and then several calls that morning, still no confirmation from their end. So I was required to travel myself from Hokitika to Greymouth to go and sort out the issue in person, and which after some scrambling from the person working there, eventually led to a delayed day tour. But honestly I would have much preferred a refund. Then I could have taken myself to both the Hokitika Gorge and the Treetop walkway, and had more than three quarters of my money left. The 195NZD I was charged was ultimately not worth it given the Treetop adult ticket id 36NZD and the Hokitika Gorge walk is free (and currently half closed for bridge maintenance, so half of it is entirely inaccessible so be aware). My guide was a lovely lady who tried her best to make up the experience despite the admin mistakes, but unfortunately I had just been entirely demoralised by the difficulties I had trying to communicate with the West Coast Travel office that I couldn’t fully appreciate the tour. Definitely take the drive out yourself. A hire care for the day would likely end up being cheaper overall.

Helen was friendly knowledgeable and helpful. She took the time to stop for lots of photo opportunities I would highly recommend it

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.

The tour was awesome with great weather and our tour guide Bob was incredibly informative and knowledgeable of the places we visited, the coach was very comfortable and clean and I would thoroughly recommend any tour with Explore West Coast

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.

Fabulous walk along the sea coast. Amazing rock firmation and spectacular views An awesome example of what the ocean is able to crave Into the landscape. A genuine masterpiece

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.

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.

Stunning views💯great tour guide too. I would recommend this trip for anyone walks very easy and the most amazing views of landscape.

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...

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.

Great trip with Bob making the day with his commentary. Amazing landscapes and a lovely bush walk a bonus.

Bob was an amazing guide. Thank you. He took us to the pancake rocks the lead us through the forest walk.

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.

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
