This a great hike for seeing the beautiful forest and lakes in the Hokitika region. The foot bridges are well made and get you across the terrain. The glacier fed rivers are a beautiful color of blue. Our guide, Linda, was very knowledgeable and shared information about the land, animals and towns as we drove/hiked through.

Fun experience

Beautiful forest in the gorge with a lovely lake—very nice walk. The treetop walk was fun and beautiful, but the amount of driving between the sites was a bit much.

Excellent guide in Linda

We had an excellent guide in Linda, who is knowledgeable about the local area, as well as the local fauna. Due to some conflicting joining instructions from Viator, she patiently waited for us at the pick up point. We could have done the Hokitika Gorge and the Tree Top Walk on our own but with a knowledgable local guide like Linda, we learned a lot more about the area as a result.

Excellent walks and views...

Excellent walks and views and a good guide. The only problem was everything was a bit rushed with no time for refreshments

A beautiful nature experience!

A wonderful visual tour with a super friendly and knowledgable guide! The tour was not physically demanding anth views were extraordinary!

Amazing Day

The Gorge is an easy walk and not too busy if you get there early. The treetop has a steep hill to start but gets easier.

Hojo

Great outing! Mary was great! Weather was great although rain had been forecast. Definitely worth the time and money. Good conversation and leisurely pace.

WOW

Beautiful area--just breath-taking. Our guide Helen was informative, friendly and helpful. She made an already fun experience, more wonderful.

A short drive south of Greymouth is the Hokitaki Gorge and tree top walks. The gorge walk is spectacular plus with an immersive experience that’s truly wonderful and the tree top walk similar with an aerial view. Well hosted with the occasional commentary on the history of the area and recommended as a must see during a visit to Greymouth.

Thank you for leaving a review.

Not worth $184

Emma_N, Nov 2022
The Gorge is beautiful! But you don’t get a guided tour (you can do it by yourself). You have a person walk behind you and that is it. The treetop walk is only $30 and you get charged $184

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Absolutely, you can do these walks by yourself if you have your own transport to get to these locations. Our tours are fully guided and I apologize that on this occasion we did not meet expectations for you as the customer and also from our company. Thank you for leaving this feedback as it drives us to always do better and provide further training where required.

Interesting and active excursion

Linda took us to the gorge and the trees. We could have driven ourselves, but we already do so many kilometers here that it is nice to be transported. We also got a lot of explanations from her about nature, history, agriculture etc. They are two beautiful short walks.
