Highly recommended service by a dedicated team and crew. This is a very efficient service that never missed a beat. We stayed in either Hokitika or Greymouth and were shuttled to and from starting points on the Wilderness Trail ensuring we had time for a beer and look around while we waited. Timing was always perfect and service with a smile. It is worth noting that we do not recommend anyone stay at Cowboys Paradise, so this made the shuttle service back to Hokitika for the night and then return in the morning very necessary and it was again, perfect. Well done and Thanks.

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.

This beautiful lake is off the beaten track, and well worth a visit for a picnic, being surrounded by lovely native bush it has a restful serene feel about it. The public toilets were very clean.

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 Tree Top walk was very interesting as you get to overlook the enormous trees. There is also some good wildlife about. A great place for photography.
