Southland's history started in Riverton (then called Jacob's River) and Bluff, early settlements established when the whaling era came to an end. Te Hikoi encapsulates the journeys of those early pioneers and presents it in a clear and interesting way.

Te Hikoi Southern Journey Museum and Information Centre is Western Southland's ultimate heritage attraction. The museum features authentic life size displays, adventurous characters and engaging stories that reveal how early Maori and Europeans adapted to survive on nature's edge and live together. The museum experience starts with a 15 minute film about Maori lore, characters and stories of integration between Maori and European settlers. Life like displays showcase local Maori traditions such as tool making and harvesting, whaling history, early European settlers way of life and industries such as logging and farming, Chinese mining history, and war stories from ANZAC and Passchendaele. The Discovery Depot, which has a focus on the geology of the area, gives you the opportunity to use microscopes and access the library of geology resources. Some visitors spend about 40 minutes exploring the museum, but some spend half a day. Te Hikoi also hosts special exhibitions and houses a retail space which offers locally produced gifts and souvenirs and a wide range of books. The local information centre is operated from Te Hikoi, providing information for your visit to the area and assisting with making bookings for activities. Theatre and meeting spaces are available for hire.
