New Zealand

There is a wide range of scenic and historic attractions, activities and tours in the Westport Region, on the West Coast of New Zealand. You could see the historic Charming Creek Railway, or further north is Kahurangi National Park and Karamea with the Oparara Arches. A region of exquisite beauty and natural wonders, as well as being of major archaelogical importance.

Oparara Valley, Karamea

Situated in a warm corner of Kahurangi National Park, the Oparara Valley boasts a rich unspoiled rainforest stretching across a broad valley floor, three magnificent limestone arches sculpted by the Oparara River, bush fringed streams stained the colour of billy tea, and an underground treasure hidden away in a highly complex cave system.

Underworld Adventures

A very special adventure to explore one of New Zealand's largest caves systems with spectacular stalactites and unbelievable galaxies of Glowworm. Choose between the dry version or the wet and wild tour where you explore the top dry levels before descending to float through the amazing Glowworm grottos.
