Catlins Kayak and Adventure

Our small group tours give you the opportunity to view the remote Catlins Coast. With over twenty years’ experience in these waters our guide will show you a coastline rich in wildlife and history. On your journey to the famous nugget shaped rocks you’ll observe not only diverse and dramatic scenery but unique wildlife that call this place home: the albatross, including the royal; the World’s rarest sea lion and smallest penguin; the Catlins largest colonies of fur seal and cormorant; and perchance the elephant seal, dolphin or yellow-eyed penguin, thought to soon be extinct from mainland NZ. Our tours depart daily with no prior kayaking experience necessary. We provide you with everything you need.

Roaring Bay

Reviewed By markf253 - Auckland Central, New Zealand

We walked to the viewing hide above Roaring Bay just before dawn and were lucky enough to see three yellow-eyed penguins walk from their nests across the sand to the sea. Beautiful wild beach with the sound of the stones very loud with each wave.

Kaka Point Beach

Reviewed By Weetbix7 - Wellington, New Zealand

The perfect New Zealand summer beach experience. A large flat beach with golden sand. A surf life guard on duty. Lots of kids and waves. There were lots boogey boarding in wet suits. Easy parking by the surf life station.

Kaka Point Scenic View Point & Picnic Area

Reviewed By Zavija - Otago Region, New Zealand

When driving from Balclutha (nearest town) to Kaka Point, on the approaches at Kaka Point, everyone has to drive past a beautifully laid out and sculpted rest and picnic area. There are a few sheltered seats and tables, to have your snacks or meal, enjoy the views over the sea (northwards towards Kaitangata and the Clutha river mouth - southwards towards Nugget Point and the Catlins). This spot is also a safe place to stay overnight if you are a legally 'self contained' campervan, though take care as can be exposed to strong winds. The Clutha District Council cares for this spot and has provided rubbish & recycling bins, not always found around NZ much these days. I often drive here, just to have my Fish & Chips from Balclutha.
