Okarito, New Zealand
A few miles from the Franz Josef glacier on New Zealand's South Island is this tiny village of Okarito. In the 1800s it was a major port and centre for gold-mining. Today it is nothing more than sea, surf and stunning views of the Southern Alps

OKARITO EVENT
Okarito is a small coastal settlement in southern Westland, New Zealand. Most visitors come hoping to spot the rare NZ White Heron (Kotuku) which nests around the large Okarito Lagoon. But today they come for a totally different reason. An equally rare village market.

OKARITO WEST COAST NEW ZEALAND 2019
Okarito is a magical spot for nature lovers and the ornithologically inclined. Set on a sandspit snug beneath the Southern Alps, 25km from Franz Josef Township, the land folds towards Okarito Lagoon, combining rainforest and wetland to great effect.
Renowned for its animated estuary and boisterous Tasman Sea beyond, this area has always been a haven for birdlife.
For Maori making regular visits to the area since their arrival an estimated 600 years ago, the region would've been a giant pantry with kai from land, sea and sky keeping the people well provisioned.
In fact Okarito is Maori for place of the young bulrush shoots which are said to be rather tasty when picked young.
The Terrace track
This easy walk winds a short way along the bush-clad terraces at the south end of the village.
There is no access beyond the bridge due to a slip and you will need to return the way you came.
Take a torch and explore this walk at night to see glow-worms in the forest, especially under and around large fallen trees alongside the track.
