Rakaia Gorge

About

The historic ferryman’s track through Rakaia Gorge leads you to a fantastic lookout point across the forested valley. Along the way, your surroundings evolve to exhibit New Zealand’s abundant variety of flora - all while following the rim of a gorge carved by rivers and glaciers. Beyond the plant life, you will be blessed by the rare sight of lava flows from several different types of rock! Along the way, keep an eye out for the entrances to abandoned coal mines and rusting hulks of extraction equipment.
