Fishing Coast to Coast

This itinerary begins and end in Christchurch in the South Island. It takes you over the Lewis Pass to the West Coast and back to Christchurch via the Arthurs Pass. It is designed for anglers who wish to experience a wide range of fishing in beautiful surroundings. While the total distance travelled is not great, the huge variety of scenery from high mountain passes through to wild coastal drives and deep mountain lakes will keep any angler’s interest for weeks.

This itinerary provides plenty of interest for any non-fishing partner as it includes a spa resort at Maruia Springs and the rugged beauty of the coastal drive between Westport and Greymouth which many regard as one of the finest in the world.
