THis walkway is another one of the hidden gems of Kaikoura. An easy walk for all ages and levels of fitness, it hugs the coast between South Bay and the Seal Colony car park. Take some water, your camera and a snack and enjoy a lovely morning or afternoon walk. More

Long walk, the first part is very steep, path is well made, you need to be fit to do this. A bit more signposting saying how long to the seal colony would be helpful More
