Location ⬇️ Save this post for your next West Coast adventure 📌 Hokitika Gorge is one of those spots where you can’t help but stop and just take it all in. 🌤 Best visited on a clear day when sunlight hits the water—this makes the glacial blue colour pop even more. 🚗 From Hokitika township, it’s about a 30-minute drive inland. The road is sealed all the way, and there’s a free carpark right at the trailhead. The walk itself is an easy 30 minute return loop with boardwalks and bridges. 💡 Don’t miss the second swing bridge further along the loop for a unique angle. In summer, sandflies can be intense here—bring repellent! Follow @getlostwithliam for more epic NZ travel guides 🌏 #nztravel #visitnewzealand #southislandroadtrip #beautifuldestinations #itinerarynz
