About Jackie and the tour

Hi, I'm Jackie – a married mother of five (all grown up now) with a passion for conservation and the West Coast. I started West Coast Scenic Taste Tour after too many years working indoors. We have such a beautiful area, and a lot of it isn't well known, but these are "must see" places that I wanted people to experience. I believe people should live and love life, and when you come on my tour you'll see why I'm such a happy person – it's hard not to be when you live here!

West Coast Scenic Taste Tour is a small, locally owned business that gives visitors a taste of the West Coast's incredible scenery and wildlife, along with great food, spirits and beers made here from local ingredients where possible. So why drive and miss all the scenery and sampling when you can sit back, relax and let me show you around?
