Story

Der Buller River ist ein Fluss auf der Südinsel Neuseelands.GeographieAls einer der längsten Flüsse Neuseelands fließt er 170 km vom Lake Rotoiti durch zwei Schluchten, Upper Buller Gorge und Lower Buller Gorge. Westlich von Westport mündet der Buller River in die Tasmansee. Da der Lake Rotoiti wiederum vom Travers River gespeist wird, kann man die Quelle des Buller River am Oberlauf des Travers River an den Nordhängen des Mount Travers in der Saint Arnaud Range finden.Der State Highway 6 folgt dem Fluss über einen großen Teil seines Laufes, jedoch weit oberhalb des Flussbettes. Die Gebirgskette Paparoa Range trennt den Buller River vom Grey River.NamensherkunftSeinen Namen erhielt der Buller River nach dem Parlamentsabgeordneten und Direktor der New Zealand Company, Walter Buller.Daten und NutzungDer Buller River hat einen mittleren Abfluss von 429 m³/s und den höchsten Maximaldurchfluss bei einer Flut aller neuseeländischen Flüsse von über 14.000 m³/s.Der Fluss ist oberhalb von Murchison zusammen mit dem Mangles River ein beliebtes Revier für Wildwasserkayakfahren und Angeln.

I am not sure about prices for kids. $5 no matter of child's age seems little bit dodgy. Most of the attraction like this are usually for free or half price up to 5years old. Bridge was good fun but happy it wasn't busy. Bush walk 15minutes took us approx 7minutes. Beautiful views on river. To be honest not sure if I would pay again for it.
Quite expensive for what it is! We did the walk across the bridge, walk around the property, and the zipline back, which was about 15 seconds of flight that's a generous amount. The end of the zipline where it braces your impact is quite a loud noise, just be aware. We have a top 10 membership that we could have used to save some money but didn't realize we could use it here unfortunately. The walk was fine, and the unique part of that was the climb down to a beach you where there was some brilliant white rocks half in the water you could climb. and the deep fault-line walk was neat! Pretty views on the bridge.
Liked this place cause I love swing bridges and this was a long one. We did a Loop Walk and saw how much damage has been done by recent storms. Lovely walk and went back across swing bridge. Was a short zip line you could do across but hey, it's a swing bridge.
This place was awesome. My husband chicken out because he's afraid of heights bouncy bridges, bridges made out of thick wire mesh and very narrow bridges. If you are afraid of all four, don't go. This is a bridge that you "cannot close your eyes when you are crossing it !!" You need both eyes open and free hands to hold the railings to walk across. I was lucky that I was the only one crossing the bridge that day because it was raining and cold . You can either walk back or use a zip line to get back. I walked. Entry fee is NZD 10 per pax I think. There's a nature walk to experience the surrounding area but I skipped it because my husband was waiting for me at the entrance. A must visit..
We had a great time, gold panning entertained the children and adults for quite some time. Lots of informative history on the walk and the kids loved the comet line. Watch our video on TikTok by searching @centralfmchb
IMHO, I believe the Buller Gorge Swing Bridge should be an iconic ‘must stop and explore’ for anyone travelling from Tasman Bay to West Coast. The site is steeped in history, has NZ’s longest swing bridge, which spans a beauty river, and leads to a variety of walks shortest is an easy 15min, with lots of gorgeous photo ops along the way. Cute little native birds will follow you around, looking for insects as you disturb them on your walk. They’ve even been know to land on the visitors - rate for birds like fantails etc. We had a couple of tuis calling out to each other and were close enough to capture on camera. We did the short loop walk, and I ducked off for the 20min return walk to look at the giant Kahikatea off the loop. Stunning crown ferns and many more native flora. Would definitely return again and do the longer loop walks. Be sure to check out the old miners cottage before taking the zip line back across the river. Super friendly staff, lots of other things to do too gold panning, jet boat ride etc, and a beautiful spot for a picnic. Activities are very reasonably priced too - not Queenstown prices!
Bit scary at first but we did it. Well worth it Great walk on other side, interesting area to wander through. Loved it
Despite my fear of heights I was encouraged by staff and managed to overcome my fears and enjoy the bridge crossing and walks on the other side. Coming back I was more confident. Recommend to one and all
There's a swing bridge and short trail showing the fault lines from an old earthquake. Zipline on return is optional, if you don't want to walk back on the bridge again. Thought it was a little overpriced. Interesting stop in-between a long drive. However not a must do, unless you have time and money to spare.
Really great experience! Cost for the bridge is $10 per adult and $5 per child but it’s well worth it, we spent a good hour and a half wandering around looking at the various bits of old mining equipment. Great spot, recommend stopping
