Well worth the quick trip out from town. A very quiet and tranquil place early in the morning before the tourist buses arrive.

Out of all the places we visited on a brief trip to the West coast this place will remain in our memories longer than anything else...There's plenty of gorges around the world but few that have water that's so turquoise it as though its been specially coloured to attract visitors. It's worth remembering some insect repellent as the sandflies like the gorge as its tasty visitors!

About a half hour outside of Hokitika. Once you are in the car park about a 15 minute walk to the gorge and suspension bridge. Yes, it sways! Bugs too! Bring spray.

Would definitely take the time to take this walk. See the rain forest, blue glacial waters, rocks. Well laid out, wildlife wandering nearby. Be cautious when walking as some drop offs are steep. Do this instead of paying for a treetop walk... You will see more beauty and wildlife here.
