Travelogues Hokitika

28.01.2014 For my $110 a night, I at least had a room with many mosquitoes and no wardrobe. So my blazer and blouses stay in the car again. I will be carrying these clothes...

Über die klarsten Frischwasserquellen der Welt hin zum persönlichen Goldrausch und abwechslungsreiche Tour an der Westküste

Hello dear ones, Here I am again. I just realized with great joy that there is a computer in my hostel, and since it's raining outside and everything is closed because it's...

First, things don't always go as planned. Should we stay or keep going? Hope for better weather or give up? Visit an AirBnb? - We would have loved to stay longer at the...

Hokitika war meine Erste Station im Westen war die Küstenstadt Hokitika mit seinem rauen, schwarzen Sandstrand. Hokitika Hokitika Hokitika Hokitika Hokitika Ich...

Wild and beautiful

We actually didn't have Hokitika in mind until Kyra came up with the idea of searching for Greenstone herself. In New Zealand, there are several places that are perfect for this...

Along the West Coast to Hokitika, with a stop at the Pancake Rocks...

The weather ruined our plans this time, so we skipped the glaciers and drove to Hokitika instead. On the way there, the clouds started to gather, and we stopped at the sea to...

The program for today is very relaxed, after all, it's Christmas and all the shops are closed. We make our way to Hokitika Airport after breakfast to see if there are any scenic...

So - our Christmas Eve is coming to an end while it is just beginning for you. However, we don't want to withhold from you how our slightly different Christmas day went (: . We...

9.2. - 10.2. As ambitious as we are, we naturally set ourselves the goal of taking only 2 days instead of 3 days from Franz Josef to Hokitika - which meant that we had to cover...

Since the sun sets already at 17:30, we decided to get up with the sun in the morning (7:30) to have more from the day, like doing the treetop walk at Lake Mahinapua, visiting...

Today we did the Mananui Bush Walk. It led through an enchanted forest (it felt like Alice in Wonderland) to the beach where we searched for jade. After a short stop in...

Actually, you can't eat enough lamb in NZ. After a day of hiking to the Franz Josef Glacier and a small insignificant detour to Fox Glacier (the access was still closed due to...

Today we went on a hike to the Franz Josef Glacier. 🏔 It's really disheartening that over half of the ice and snow have already melted. ☀️❄️ About 60 years ago, the entire...

At the beach of Hokitika, we were able to admire very beautiful things made of driftwood. It was especially beautiful that the sun set on the horizon.

Due to limited options for restaurants in Hokatika, and because I didn't want to drive again, and I didn't feel like having Indian, pizza, or fish & chips again, I ended up...

From Christchurch over the Arther Pass to the West Coast. I arrived in Hokitika in bright sunshine, which doesn't seem to always be the case here. I still got a room in a very...
