The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of "place of large incantations" for Ōhikanui.[2]

The Ohikanui River is a tributary consisting of a bouldery river bed and clear swift water.^{[citation needed]} It flows through the paparoa wilderness area which is unaltered (with no tracks or huts). The area is popular with trampers^{[citation needed]} because of its natural environment, and also with trout fisherman and deer stalkers.^{[citation needed]}
