 Road to Haast

Haast, New Zealand, is located on the West Coast of the South Island of the country. The biggest attraction of this sparsely populated area is the picturesque and unspoilt nature. The spectacular and diverse landscapes offer a perfect getaway for international tourists and young backpackers; in addition, the region boasts rich wildlife, including Hectors Dolphins and Fiordland Penguins. If you want to discover the natural beauty of this remote region, local companies offer boat trips and scenic flights.

If you like outdoor activities, you can go hunting and fishing. Rafting and kayaking on the Waitoto River are available, as well. Passionate hikers enjoy the numerous good short and longer walks in the region. The beautiful scenery is perfect for photographers and social-media-picture lovers. The route from Haast to Jackson Bay offers spectacular lakes, wetlands, and natural beaches. If you do a road trip, do not miss out on the drive from Haast to Fox Glacier, which boasts beautiful passes and a dramatic landscape.

This rather remote region was rewarded as a World Heritage Site by the renowned UNESCO. Only around three hundred people permanently live in the area with three major communities -- Hast Junction, Haast Beach, and Haast Township. The area gets its name from the famous German-born geologist Sir Johann Franz Julius von Haast, who was a very important scientist for the topographical and geological survey of New Zealand's South Island.

If you want to spend some time in this wonderful region, you can choose from several Haast, New Zealand hostels, motels, and lodges. Backpacking and tourism is big on the South Island, but the area is so remote that the number of hostels in Haast, New Zealand, is rather limited.
