Hokitika is a historic town located on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island. Originally established as a gold mining settlement in the 1860s, it was once a bustling port and the center of the West Coast Gold Rush.

Today, Hokitika is known for its cultural heritage, particularly its connection to pounamu (New Zealand jade or greenstone), which has significant cultural importance to the Māori people. The town serves as a center for traditional jade carving and local arts and crafts. Its rich history is reflected in its well-preserved historic buildings and museums, while its location between the Tasman Sea and the Southern Alps provides a unique backdrop for cultural and artistic activities.
