We cycled the West Coast Adventure Trail and Glory Days were the Hokitika-based cycle company that did all the logistics - they transferred us from the TransAlpine train to the start of the trail, organised luggage transfers and shuttles, and provided e-bikes. They were always on time (or early) and really obliging, noting was too much trouble. They provided great advice about places to go and had arranged excellent accommodation to help us make the most of our time on the West Coast. I would highly recommend you booking your West Coast Adventure Trail directly with Glory Days.

Very cool to see...go at dusk or better yet at night. Don't bother taking photos with your cell/mobile phone as it just adds more light that is not needed. Nature is so cool!!! Note, this doesn't take very long...30 minutes and your done. We stayed at the Holiday Park across the street so we just walked over after watching sunset on the beach and then shared some wine in our camper...an awesome evening!

The tiny town has a movie theatre right out of the “movies”. Locals volunteer with maintenance. There is a showing room with accomodations for a stage performance. A tiny viewing room reminiscent of a large living room. During the day there is a small cafe on the lobby. We had a free night and went to see a New Zealand produced movie..what a treat, Ice cream bars were tasty!
