Mōkihinui River / Mokihinui River

The Mōkihinui River winds as a wild, largely untouched waterway through dense ancient forests, steep gorges and open river flats on New Zealand’s West Coast before reaching the sea. Its clear emerald waters and the surrounding nature, alive with native birds, sizable trout and pristine landscapes, create an immersive wilderness experience. Recreation thrives here through whitewater kayaking and rafting along lively rapids, challenging hiking and mountain biking on scenic trails with sweeping views, and rewarding fishing in calm stretches and deep pools.
