Hokitika is a coastal centre of approximately 4000 people. It was originally settled as a gold mining village in the 1860’s and soon became a busy port.

Hokitika or “Hoki” is where one can see New Zealand’s Greenstone carvings and ‘Tikis’ and ‘Taniwha’ images being worked from this semi precious stone. This is a major centre for these carvings and artefacts and has become a main attraction.

Slightly smaller than Greymouth, Hokitika gives access to beautiful rainforests with rivers and lakes and is a quieter stop along the West Coast for travellers looking for something a little more historical and interesting.

Every March, Hokitika hosts a major event for the West Coast, The Wildfoods Festival. This festival is becoming increasingly popular and attracts up to 20,000 people and is held in the town's ‘Cass Square’.

The South Island's west coast contains the largest area of protected land in New Zealand. It is a world of primitive, towering rainforest, bizarre limestone landscapes, crunching glaciers, rare birds, plants, clear mountain streams and lake, like Lake Ianthe . There's also endless adventure and hiking opportunities.
