West Coast Loop Tour
- Friends of Te Papa
- 9 - 14 March 2026 This tour departs from Christchurch by coach over Arthur’s Pass to the West Coast and we explore the region with Historical Geography and guide Richard Willis. We’ll learn about local history, the greenstone, gold rush and mining influences, travel the Great Coast Road and discover dramatic coastal landscapes, craggy cliffs, palm-filled forest glades and sublime bays. We’ll take in once-busy gold mining communities and ponder how sailing ships used to navigate the rocks. Highlights include the Hokitika Gorge Walk, the Denniston Plateau and local museums such as the Pounamu Pathway and Kawatiri Coal Town. We’ll leave the West Coast via the Nelson Lakes and Marlborough wine country, then head down the East Coast and inland to Hanmer Springs, before returning to Christchurch.
