With the weather warming up and the forests greener than ever after the recent rains, spring is the perfect time to explore Hokitika attractions and get rid of the winter blues.
While there’ll still be spring showers from time to time, you should still make the most of the warmer temperatures you’ll begin to see from September onwards.
From adrenaline-inducing ziplines to relaxing nature walks, there are so many ways to enjoy the Hokitika area during springtime.
Stroll Along the Hokitika Gorge Hike
Known for its iconic suspension bridge, which hangs over the turquoise water of the gorge, this hike is definitely one of the most popular Hokitika attractions on offer. Enjoy the great outdoors and see the spring flowers in bloom as you walk along this well-marked hike!
Go on an Unforgettable Ziplining Adventure
See the ancient rainforests of Hokitika up close and personal when you visit West Coast Tower Zipline. As you fly along the 425-metre zipline, you’ll feel a rush of fresh spring air in your face and get a healthy dose of adrenaline while you’re at it! If thrill-seeking isn’t really your thing, you can simply enjoy the views from the Treetop Walkway.
See the Glow Worm Dell
Experience the magic offered by this famous glowworm grotto, which is lit up by the light of thousands of glowworms. Now that it’s a little warmer, your nighttime expedition to the grotto is sure to be more enjoyable than it would have been in the depths of winter.
Relax at Hokitika Beach
While it may not be summer just yet, you could choose one of the warmer spring days to go and relax on Hokitika Beach. This picturesque beach is known for its rugged surf and driftwood sculptures—perfect for a leisurely stroll. Why not pack a picnic lunch and make a day out of it?

It’s perfect for the entire family, and if you get caught in one of the spring showers, you can always duck into our cosy cafe to enjoy a bite to eat.
