“Swimming down river from a dam might not sound like a sane idea but the Maitai River has many great, safe swimming spots – so good they’ve even got names: Black Hole, Dennes Hole, Sunday Hole, Sharlands Hole, Smith’s Ford.”
Surrounded by smashing trees you can explore the river on foot or cycle. It’s an easy four hours return. From central Nelson, park near the corner of Trafalgar and Halifax streets and follow the track to the right, which follows the river. Or drive into the Maitai Valley via Nile Street East, park, and jump in.
