Location: Depart from Collingwood, Golden Bay. There are buses from Nelson and Motueka but they take half the day.
A long natural sandspit separating the wild west coast from placid Golden Bay. A world heritage site so access by organised 4wd tours only. Two operators based in Collingwood. Miles of mud flats exposed at low tide support many thousands of migratory waders such as godwits and knots from October to march.
