West Coast

Blue Pools: a small hike to a beautiful river mouth with a big blue pool, before it joins the other one. Because of a lot of rain and wind the last days it was milky blue with all the sediments. At other times it is crystal clear. It is a really good place to skip stones as well.

Waterfalls: We saw some waterfalls while driving and visited some, who where not far from the road. Sometimes its hard to find a parking lot, which are limited, because all stop at the same places.

Kings Point: A stunning lookout at the west coast and a memorial for bulding the Westland Otago link road.

Ships Creek: A small brown clear stream, a dune lake and a beautiful beach. A nice place to explore and get to know the flora and fauna and how it was created.Read more
