Welcome Flat Hot Spring Hike : 3-Day Experience
Three days. Total reset. This private journey into the West Coast’s wild heart blends forest hiking with geothermal bliss. We guide you to Welcome Flat Hut—where natural hot pools steam beneath alpine peaks and birdsong echoes through the bush. It’s moderate hiking, maximum serenity. Just you, your guide, and nature at its most restorative. Private group, all sorted, nothing rushed.
Slow down and immerse yourself in one of New Zealand’s most unique overnight hikes. This 3-day guided walk to Welcome Flat Hut gives you extra time to explore the beautiful Copland Valley, unwind in the natural hot pools, and enjoy meals prepared by your guide.
Walk through lush West Coast rainforest, cross swing bridges and glacier-fed rivers, and arrive at one of the South Island’s most iconic huts surrounded by snow-capped peaks. With two nights at Welcome Flat, you’ll have plenty of time for soaking, relaxing, photography, and stargazing, without rushing the journey.
This experience is for those who value time — time to move, time to soak, time to just be in nature. If you’re looking for a calm overnight journey with space to rest and reconnect, this is one of the most peaceful alpine trips in New Zealand.
