Well organised, informative, and friendly. Both activities were fun and accessible. The beautiful weather was a real bonus.

Went for the tree top walk which is nice. We would have liked to see more birds. Zipline was 2 minutes of fun. We felt very safe, highly recommended
5Hokitika Beauty
Great trip with a great host. Linda was so informative and accommodating.
5This a great hike for...
This a great hike for seeing the beautiful forest and lakes in the Hokitika region. The foot bridges are well made and get you across the terrain. The glacier fed rivers are a beautiful color of blue. Our guide, Linda, was very knowledgeable and shared information about the land, animals and towns as we drove/hiked through.
5Fun experience
Beautiful forest in the gorge with a lovely lake—very nice walk. The treetop walk was fun and beautiful, but the amount of driving between the sites was a bit much.
5Excellent guide in Linda
We had an excellent guide in Linda, who is knowledgeable about the local area, as well as the local fauna. Due to some conflicting joining instructions from Viator, she patiently waited for us at the pick up point. We could have done the Hokitika Gorge and the Tree Top Walk on our own but with a knowledgable local guide like Linda, we learned a lot more about the area as a result.

About Greymouth
Greymouth is the largest town on New Zealand's wild West Coast, at the mouth of the Grey River, with a history of coal, gold and greenstone.
Greymouth sits where the Grey River meets the Tasman Sea on the west coast of the South Island, squeezed between the ocean and the foothills, with the Paparoa Range rising to the north. Coal and gold built the town, and its riverfront still has a working fishing fleet and port. The railway from Christchurch, which crosses the Southern Alps via Arthur's Pass, ends at the station here.
