Lake Moeraki is a scenic area on the west coast of the South Island, with a picturesque lake, dense forest and a beautiful coastline.

Located a short drive north of Haast, on the tourist Glacier Highway, State Highway 6, there isn't a main town to speak of, but there are shops, restaurants and accommodation along SH6 offering services to guest staying in the area.

The main draw to this area is the flora and fauna, with vast tracts of rainforest, quiet rivers and lakes, green pastureland and wide sandy beaches.  The rainforests are home to a huge variety of birdlife, and around the lakes, rivers and coastline it is easy to spot a vast number of waterfowl, adult and baby fur seal, penguins, and if you're lucky, giant elephant seals!

You can enjoy guided walks and hikes through the rainforest, round the lakes and the coastline, where your guides will point out the rare birds and wildlife just a few feet away from you.  Kayaking and canoeing are popular on the lakes, and the rivers that flow into it, and the seashore has many secluded bays and rocky coves where you can collect shells, picnic on the sands and enjoy the quiet views.
