Lower Buller Gorge

The road is suspended on its rocky base above the fast flowing river with the narrow winding road demanding the attention of the driver. For passengers it is an exhilarating section with the surging river water below and the sweep of dense bush up and around the road surface. Look out for Kilkenny lookout and Hawkes Crag as dramatic highpoints of this section of the road. Your journey into Westport continues to follow the path of the Buller River.
