You are here:
Haast, New Zealand
Jackson Bay fishing boats, Haast
For the keen ornithologist, a visit to Haast undoubtedly offers new species to tick off your list: fantail, tui, bellbird, grey warbler and the elusive kiwi are some of the many breeds of bird one may find in this coastal district.
Nestled in the abundant lowland forests in the South West New Zealand National Heritage site, Haast is placed amongst some of the country’s most dramatic and distinctive flora and fauna. Just north of Haast, Lake Moeraki is a fabulous fishing lake enclosed by a pristine, virgin rainforest.
To avoid the crowds, walk the world famous Tongariro Crossing outside of peak season to ensure you experience the stark and tranquil scenery at its best.
