Driving Orowaiti Road in Westport, on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island.

The port town of Westport is the main town in the north of the region. Originally a gold mining town it is now coal mining that keeps the town growing. There are plenty of outdoor activities to do in Westport. Visit the fur seal colony at Cape Foulwind, go caving, rafting or jet boating on the Buller River. If adventure is not for you then take a step back in time at the Coaltown Museum in Westport and see what the town used to be like. The town has everything - surfing, beaches, great fishing, mountain biking, hiking, hunting, a network of great art and artists, waterfalls and more. Helicopter tours can take you to untouched parts of the region that people rarely get to see.
