Kaikoura Peninsula Walkway
This is arguably the best walk we’ve done in New Zealand. Varied landscape: from low down near water level, to high up on the cliffs. Well-maintained pathways, both man-made and organic. Viewing platforms and information boards.Toilets at beginning and end. About an hour and a half to two hours depending on how many stops. A further thirty minutes back to Kaikoura. Or longer if you stop for sustenance at the road-side BBQ and drinks stall.

Hike up for vista views or low to get closer to the seal colony. Relatively short jaunt and beautiful on a clear day. Easy trip from town and pretty drivin.

Wonderful varied walk along the coast,we stayed high up to see the views and were rewarded big time,it took us approx 2.5 hrs distance 12km If you prefer you can stay low and see seals ect it's up to you.Well worth the short climbs,can be a bit muddy and wet if it had rained a few days before Enjoy

Generally a easy hike with good scenic views in good weather conditions, a round trip would take no more then 3hrs.Was able to sight seals sunbathing along the coast.However it does get extremely muddy and slippery at certain sections after rain, especially at sections where the trail takes you across cow pastures.

Loved this walkway. Amazing views from the top of the cliffs & you can watch the seals below or walk back on the bottom & see them up close & personal! There's a small yellow lighthouse at the start of the walk at the top of the hill & after that, theres rural views & a grassy track on the cliff top with seats placed strategically for the views.

One of the best walkways in New Zealand, if not the world! Seeing seals up close and in their natural habitat was spectacular. The walk up to the top gives unreal views all around. Take your time here, lots of exploring to do and a decent sized car park with washrooms. I'd say 2-3 hours is good. The trail is a loop if you keep going.

Steep climb for first five minutes from Point Kean to lookout, then eases. Great views but some sections have no rail between path and steep drop off.

Good lil walk over rocky trails and waterfront. Seals along the path and a variety of Birds. Interesting rock formations and some nice flowers. You can take a shirt or long trek based on your abilities.
