Hokitika Gorge is a stunning natural attraction located on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island. Known for its vibrant turquoise waters, the gorge is framed by lush native bush and dramatic rock formations. The vividly colored water is a result of glacial melt mixing with fine rock particles, creating an almost surreal landscape. Visitors can explore the area via a well-maintained walking track that includes a swing bridge offering breathtaking views of the gorge below.
