Get off the tourist trail and discover the less-visited northern West Coast of the South Island. Westport is a worthy base, home to one of the best child-friendly walks to a seal colony. In Reefton, you have bike trails alongside mining remnants being taken over by nature. And if you venture all the way to Karamea, then the caves of the Oparara Arches are sure to amaze both you and the little ones.
