The Catlins Travel Guide

Sitting high above the water’s edge, this historic lighthouse has been a fixture of the Catlins for more than a century.

This two-part waterfall is the end-point of an easy walk through varied forest and bush land and one of the most impressive in the Catlins area.

Explore the great outdoors at Curio Bay Petrified Forest, a lovely green space in Curio Bay. Stroll along the beaches or visit the monuments while you're in the area.

See the powerful natural feature named after a Māori chief by following a short trail on a private sheep farm.

Cross rolling fields and dense macrocarpa forest to reach this isolated bay, home to hollow waves and a colony of sea lions.

Why not spend a care-free afternoon at Porpoise Bay Beach during your travels in Waikawa?
