Itinerary
1
Nugget Point Lighthouse
A short walk takes us to the spectacular Nugget Point Lighthouse, perched above wave-battered sea stacks known as “The Nuggets.” Keep an eye out for seals sunning on the rocks and seabirds soaring above the ocean below.
1 hour
2
Purakaunui Falls
A quick and easy forest walk brings you to this stunning multi-tiered cascade. One of the most photographed waterfalls in the country—and for good reason.
30 minutes
3
Papatowai
We stop in the peaceful Catlins village of Papatowai for lunch and to explore the wonderfully quirky Lost Gypsy Caravan, a handcrafted gallery of kinetic art and oddities that’s sure to spark your imagination.
1 hour
4
Curio Bay
At Curio Bay, step back in time as you walk across the remains of a 180-million-year-old petrified forest (visible at low tide). You may also see endangered yellow-eyed penguins or Hector’s dolphins nearby.
Alternative: If tides allow, we may visit the Cathedral Caves, two dramatic sea caverns accessible via a short forest and beach walk (entry fee applies).
1 hour and 30 minutes
5
Invercargill
A short stop in Invercargill offers a chance to stretch your legs and have a quick bite to eat before we continue our journey
