About the West Coast Wilderness Trail Trust

The West Coast Wilderness Trail Trust has been established to work independently alongside trail owners, the Grey and Westland District Councils, to promote, develop and manage the trail. The role also involves liaising with local communities and businesses to grow the support for and benefit from the trail. The Trust is not involved in the physical maintenance of the trail. This remains the responsibility of the trail owners. Contributions to the management and enhancement of the West Coast Wilderness Trail can be made directly to the Trust's bank account 06 0845 0203192 00, the Givealittle Page https://givealittle.co.nz/org/westcoastwildernesst... or sent to: West Coast Wilderness Trail, P O Box 240, Greymouth 7840.

  • To ensure that each day's ride will stand-out as a unique experience.

  • To provide an economic boost to West Coast communities.

  • To be one of the top 23 Ngā Haerenga Great Rides of New Zealand.
