Hokitika boomed as a gold-rush port in the 1860s and is now the West Coast's pounamu town, with carvers working greenstone in studios along the main streets. The driftwood sign on the beach and the turquoise water of Hokitika Gorge are two of the Coast's most photographed places. The Wildfoods Festival each March fills the town with adventurous eaters and multiplies its population overnight.
