The Ohikaiti River is a river of the West Coast Region of New Zealand's South Island. It flows north, paralleling the course of the larger Ohikanui River which lies two kilometres to the west. The Ohikaiti empties into the Buller River at the Buller Gorge, 15 kilometres southwest of Westport.[1]
The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of "place of small incantations" for Ōhikaiti.[2]
