Explore the great outdoors at Kaka Point Scenic Reserve, a lovely green space in Kaka Point. While you're in the area, stroll along the seaside.

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

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

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

Visit the Catlins’ most famous waterfalls to see why it has adorned postcards and postage stamps for decades.

Take a drive on the Southern Scenic Route to embark on a walk through regenerating forest that leads to two of the Catlins’ most photogenic falls.
