The gorgeous Buller District. The Buller Gorge Swingbridge is featured here, the longest swingbridge in New Zealand - 110 metres long, suspended 17 metres above the Buller River. Plenty of walks, sightseeing including Miners Cottage and gold panning and Ariki Falls. You can walk the bridge to these attractions and walk back (approx. 5 minute walk across bridge) OR you can 'zip' back on the Comet Line, great fun. Great day out, breathtaking scenery.
