Greymouth, the largest town on New Zealand's rugged West Coast, is nestled at the mouth of the Grey River. It's surrounded by dramatic cliffs, wild beaches, and the serene Grey Valley. The town serves as the perfect gateway to explore the untamed wonders of the West Coast, from the iconic Pancake Rocks at Punakaiki to the stunning turquoise waters of Hokitika Gorge. It's also the western terminus of the world-famous TranzAlpine train journey, offering a spectacular passage through the Southern Alps to Christchurch. Discover its rich gold mining and pounamu (jade) trading past, or explore the region's top outdoor activities, including the West Coast Wilderness Trail. Don't miss the Pounamu Pathway, an immersive cultural experience created in collaboration with Wētā Workshop, where you can delve into the captivating stories and history of the local Māori people, Poutini Ngāi Tahu, and the significance of pounamu to the region.
