Surrounded by the rugged landscape of windswept beaches and dramatic mountains, rivers and waterfalls, the township of Haast is a small secluded oasis.  Enjoy the remoteness and quiet, the likes of which are hard to find these days.  For an even more ‘off the beaten track’ experience, head south from Haast to the small seaside community of Jackson Bay – where the people are outnumber by penguins and seals.  While in the Haast region, explore the mighty rivers by jet boat or for a southern delicacy, try a fresh whitebait fritter (pattie).
