I went into Waiuta in April this year with my son, i also agree with going to the blowholes halfway between Greymouth and Westport

...You missed star attraction No. 4.5 near the Hokitika gorge! - the Shaya moya Ecosite which takes just one guest booking per night, has a fabulous outdoor bath under the stars, makes the best woodfired pizza, and you can do a blacksmithing experience and farm tour as well. Book on Campable.

Oh wow all of that sounds pretty amazing! I do like an outdoor bath 😁 probably the sort of place visit if you manage to leave the kids at home haha

Excellent choices, especially when traveling with kids. Sad that on my last glacier visit about 10 years ago, you could climb up onto Fox Glacier.

Yeh that is a bit of a shame! The paths seem to change every now and then. Would have loved to have seen one of the glaciers up close!

Lake Matheson between Franz Joseph Glacier and Fox Glacier is one of the most beautiful Lakes in the World in Winter when there is a Beautiful Reflection in the Water, The West Coast has many Beautiful lakes including Lake Brunner north east of Greymouth

You missed the most interesting and iconic town on the West Coast with a true 19th Century feel and amazing gold mining history, the first town in the Southern Hemisphere to have a public electricity supply (the original setup now being restored) and rapidly becoming an artist hub. It's amazing how many people are not aware of all this until they see it and rave about it. Reefton!!

Oh we did go to Reefton! Had a nice few nights there staying at the race course.. I don’t think we filmed it 😀 Cute little town!

@@AdventuresWithRosy I forgot to mention Black's Point too (2km from Reefton and where I live) Trails, Mountain bike trails, river swimming, gold panning, amazing museum, pottery, old gold mines, birthplace of Jack Lovelock, Olympic gold 1500m in 1936 )

The Wet Coast is one of our favourite places in the country which is full of MUST DO's. I think you should have made it 10, not 5 as some classics like the Oparara Basin, Charming Creek Walkway and Brunner Mine missed out.

Oh yeh good point forgot all about the Oparara basin! How neat are those arches up there. You are right about a charming creek too, great spot! We did so many walks over the last few months we forgot some of them 😅

It’s pretty scary when you see those signs of where those glaciers were 50-100 years ago! 🫣

That's what glaciers do, hence how valleys are created. Learned that at primary school.
