At the very top of the West Coast you will find the sleepy village of Karamea. What you will experience is limestone arches, caves, whiskey coloured river, lake, rainforest and moa bones.
Rich unspoiled rainforest stretching across a broad valley floor.
Three magnificent arches sculpted by the Oparara River.
Bush-fringed streams stained the colour of billy tea from the humic acids washing down through the soil.
A truly beautiful and unspoilt area well worth the time and effort to get there.
