Hokitika Gorge Scenic Reserve

Hokitika Gorge 33km SE of Hokitika.

Take the road to Kokatahi, turn right at the T-junction and follow the signs. You drive through dairying country towards the mountains. Just before the gorge the road is unsealed. From the carpark, it’s a 5 minute walk to the swingbridge over the river. The views from the bridge are lovely. Turn left over the bridge onto a short track leading to another viewpoint of the rockstrewn gorge.

There has been a controversial proposal to build a suspended walkway here. This was opposed by DOC.
