Restaurants & cafés

Fat Pipi Pizza
Hokitika's beloved pizza joint, doing wood-fired pies with novel West Coast toppings — including the genuinely good whitebait pizza in season. Small room, garden out the back, queues out the door.

Stumpers Cafe & Bar
Long-running main-street pub-cafe doing breakfast through dinner, wide menu and the West Coast venison schnitzel that visitors order specifically. Not destination cooking, but the town's reliable all-day kitchen.

Trails & outdoors

West Coast Treetop Walk
Twenty-metre-high steel platform circuit through native rimu and kamahi canopy a short drive south of Hokitika, plus a 40-metre cantilever viewing tower over the Mahinapua catchment. The closest forest experience to town.

Hokitika Coastal Walk
Easy beach walk south from the river mouth along the wild Tasman shoreline, as far as you want, however long the tide allows. Drift-wood scavenging, pounamu fossicking and almost no other people.

Things to do

Hokitika Wildfoods Festival
Annual one-day festival in mid-March where the town turns its civic green into a tasting marathon of foraged, fermented and frankly weird local foods — huhu grubs, venison, whitebait, mountain oysters. Goofy, beery, properly local.

Hokitika Pounamu and Jade Workshops
Several working studios in town let visitors carve their own piece of pounamu under a master carver's hand — Bonz 'N' Stonz being the longest-running. Half a day, ends with something you actually made.

Landmarks & sights

Hokitika Beach
Wild black-sand-and-pebble beach right at the edge of town, scattered with driftwood and pieces of pounamu washed down the river. The HOKITIKA sign installed on the dunes is the inevitable photograph.

Glow Worm Dell
Free roadside grotto on the northern edge of town where larvae light up a bush amphitheatre. Walk in for two minutes, stand in the dark for ten, walk out. One of the easiest glowworm experiences in the country.
