Plan your trip

Unique self-catering lodge located on a hillside 100m above the Tasman Sea, 25 min. north of Westport. Surrounded by native bush, simply sit back and relax, take in stunning views of the Tasman Sea, observe Hector dolphins and enjoy stunning sunsets.

Located on the Kohaihai River mouth near Karamea and the Oparara Basion. There are short, day or overnight walks from here.

A platform that allows you organise your own transport to many of the typically difficult to access one-way trails in New Zealand. Avoid booking shuttles or car relocations, instead connect with other trail users and help each other.

Join us on one of our guided eco tours amongst the pristine rainforest and limestone caves of the unique Oparara Basin. Several tour options available.

Tucked away in a corner of Kahurangi National Park, the Oparara has a magic all of its own, born of millions years of undisturbed isolation.

The 85km-long Old Ghost Road traverses majestic native forest, open tussock tops, river flats and forgotten valleys, providing days of adventure and spectacular huts for mountain bikers and trampers.

Golden Bay Air provides end-to-end transport for one of New Zealand's most spectacular and diverse Great Walks. The Heaphy Track is a 78km array of lush beech and podocarp forest, sub-alpine tussock downlands and palm fringed wild beaches.

A gentle walk that takes you from the main Oparara Valley car park to the picturesque Moira Gate Arch, located in Kahurangi National Park.

Situated in the heart of Karamea, we are the first service off the Heaphy Track. Surrounded by the Kahurangi National Park, we offer a world of natural wonderland experiences, or just a holiday "away from it all".

The Karamea Village Hotel is situated in the secluded haven of Karamea, and is the first stop at the end of the Heaphy Track. Relax and explore the beautiful region while staying at this historic hotel.

Scotts Beach in Karamea has stunning seascapes and amazing views. The big plus is you will probably have the beach all to yourself.
