This walk departs from the Greymouth Town Clock at
8:00am. Pre-booking is essential to guarantee that a
guide will be available. Begin by walking out onto the
viewing platform into the centre of the Barber, and
then a walk along the floodwall to gain views of the
Barber as it escapes out to sea. Doubling back past
the courthouse and Guiness street for some more local
history. Total time 60 minutes including the return to
the Town Clock.
Be aware that temperatures inside the Barber can reach
below zero, and the wind can be forceful and cold.
Please dress appropriately for the expected
conditions.
All tours include commentary by professional
storytellers.
We cannot guarantee an enhanced katabatic wind on any
given day, but the Barber runs regularly from April –
November each year, and periodically outside these
months. On most days you will certainly feel the wind
if not experiencing the fog and mist.
