Kaikōura Peninsula Walkway

Starting from town, this must-do three- to four-hour loop heads out to Point Kean, along the cliffs to South Bay, then back to town over the isthmus (or in reverse, of course). En route you’ll see fur seals and red-billed seagull and shearwater colonies. Lookouts and interesting interpretive panels abound. Collect a map at the Kaikōura i-SITE or follow your nose.
