Things to do in Hokitika

Explore the temperate rainforest, rugged beaches and history on the West Coast.

The town of Hokitika occupies a spectacular location in the heart of New Zealand’s famous West Coast.

This region has a long and fascinating history as an ancient source of pounamu (greenstone) for Maori and as the site of a major Nineteenth Century gold rush.

Today, it is famous for its art galleries and craft studios, its spectacular hiking trails through lush native rainforest, its pristine lakes and wild beaches, its precious New Zealand wildlife and its warm West Coast hospitality.

Hokitika weather

It is true that the West Coast is a temperate rainforest but that doesn’t mean it rains all the time, just that when it rains, it pours!

New Zealand’s West Coast often enjoys beautiful sunny days, especially in the winter months when there is fresh snow on the mountains and not a cloud in the sky.
