About

Step into Hokitika’s gold-rush heritage with a hands-on gold panning experience at Polish & Pan. Begin with a brief introduction to the West Coast gold rush and how gold was traditionally recovered in Hokitika. Watch a live demonstration using a working sluice box and modern gold recovery wheel, then dig your own gravel and learn how to pan for gold just like the early prospectors. Every guest is guaranteed to find real West Coast gold. Your gold is yours to keep and is set into a unique Polish & Pan wooden coaster to take home as a one-of-a-kind souvenir. This experience is suitable for all ages, runs indoors, and is perfect for families, cruise visitors, and anyone wanting an authentic, interactive taste of Hokitika’s gold-mining past.
