💙 A Little Extra Help Shouldn’t Stop You Exploring 💙

At Explore West Coast, we want as many people as possible to experience the incredible places our region has to offer.

If you have limited mobility, find walking longer distances difficult, or simply need a little extra assistance, have a chat with us.

🚐 Our guests need to be able to get themselves into and out of our tour vans, but once we're on the road, our friendly drivers are more than happy to provide a helping hand and take things at a pace that works for you.

We can also arrange access to a wheelchair for use during your tour if required, helping make some of our stops more comfortable and enjoyable.

Our drivers genuinely love looking after their passengers. Whether it's an extra hand, a little more time at a stop, or simply understanding what will work best for you, we'll do everything we reasonably can to make your day enjoyable.

🌿 Because exploring the West Coast isn't about how fast you get there — it's about getting to experience it.

Talk to our team about your mobility needs and we'll help you choose the Explore West Coast experience that's right for you.

Explore West Coast — let's explore together. 💙
