Everybody’s highlight destination, the Hokitika Gorge Walk offers the West Coast’s easiest, most scenically satisfying experience, accessible right through the seasons, rain and shine.

It’s an easy stroll following the trail through mature forest along the banks of the Hokitika River and to the sheer rocky gorge flowing with extraordinarily turquoise blue water. Other highlights include an impressive swing bridge across the river, several viewpoints with spectacular views, curving boardwalks and access down to a small beach.

The beautifully-formed walkway (2.4 km / 1 hr 30 in and out) is pushchair and child-friendly, and the track is accessible for wheelchairs with assistance.
