The West Coast Wilderness Trail is a truly unique West Coast experience.
The West Coast Wilderness Trail is one of New Zealand’s Greatest Rides and for good reason. This easy Grade 2 cycle trail is centred around Hokitika and offers a dramatic ride through dense West Coast rainforest, past glacial rivers, lakes, beaches and wetlands.
It also offers an interesting look at local history as it follows tracks carved by pioneering gold rush miners along extensive water races, logging tramways and tram lines.
