Hokitika Gorge

The Hokitika Gorge, around 45 minutes from the centre of Hokitika is a magnificent granite gorge lined with beautiful native bush. A short walk from the car park takes you over milky blue-green pools and delivers you to large moss-covered boulders to explore. One of the suspension bridges is closed, however, it is still possible to walk and view the Gorge. The drive out here from Hokitika is also quite something taking you through rich farmland with alpine mountain views.
