Mokihinui is best visited during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is at its warmest and most settled, ideal for outdoor activities.During this period, you can expect long, sunny days and comfortable temperatures, great for exploring the natural beauty of the area. The rivers are generally lower and clearer, making activities like kayaking, rafting, and swimming more enjoyable. It's also the prime time for hiking and cycling, particularly on the Old Ghost Road, as the trails are typically dry and well-maintained.However, if you prefer cooler temperatures and fewer crowds, the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) also offer pleasant conditions. These months still provide plenty of sunshine but with a freshness in the air that some find more invigorating for extended walks or bike rides. The autumn colours can be particularly striking.
