Murchison is a playground for adventure seekers, with thrilling white-water rapids, world-class fishing, and scenic trails. Dive into the wild beauty of this untamed corner of Nelson Tasman.
It’s had its share of natural upheaval after almost being destroyed by an earthquake in 1929, but the landscape has also provided great riches, including a gold rush in the 19th century. To this day, you can still try your hand at panning for gold in the Buller River using pans and shovels.
From the Gowan to the Mangles, Matiri to the Matakitaki, and Maruia to the Buller, you’re truly spoilt for choice when it comes to water-based activities. Whether you’re jetboating through pink granite canyons, navigating fast-flowing rapids on board a white-water raft, walking across New Zealand’s longest swing bridge, or knee-deep in premier brown trout rivers, there truly is something for everyone in this quaint but beautiful little village.
