The Kaituna River is a river in Tasman District's Golden Bay / Mohua, New Zealand.[1]
The Kaituna River originates in Kahurangi National Park. It flows through a valley that forms the boundary between the Burnett Range and the Wakamarama Range.[2] The Kaituna Track, which runs between the hamlet of Aorere and Whanganui Inlet, follows the river from the end of Carter Road to Kaituna Forks, from where the track climbs up onto the ridge east of the river valley.[1]
The Kaituna River flows into the Aorere River north of Rockville.[1]
