Cullen Point Lookout

Nice but a little bit boring viewpoint. We've done the lookout and the coastal walk. The walk was very muddy and you don't really see anything but it is a nice bush walk when it's dry.

A short distance from Havelock along the Queen Charlotte Scenic Drive to Picton, is a spectacular view that overlooks Pelorus Sound and the town of Havelock.Less than a 15 minute walk to the summit.

Nice views from the top. There is a short walking path from the car park area.

Totally worth the 6min drive out of Havelock to this lookout. About 10 steps from the carpark, you already get a magnificent view, can stop and have lunch there, with a view of Havelock township.The short loop (9mins) has an easy first half with wide flat path and treated to a great view of the sounds after 4-5 mins of walking.Continuing on, the rest is a tighter track with much more uneven ground (steep steps and tree roots), best to wear sturdy sneakers or shoes. You can do it in jandals but some parts are trickier.... if you have bad knees you might just wanna do the first half.Right at the top is a great view of the sounds, magnificent! The 1 hour loop was closed when we got there, but Im sure the views are even more amazing.

Better to just save your energy and see the view from the side of the road right side of parking lot on the bend... see the difference in the view (first photo is from the top), 2nd is from the roadside)

Nice views towards the sounds and close to a loop walk.

This is a nice viewpoint over the ria, it's only a short walk from the car park so worth a little detour if passing through the area.

A good lookout. There is a little walk to the lookout. There are also a few other spots on the walk at which you can take photos

Cullen Point Lookout is essentially at the start of the scenic route from Havelock to Picton that follows the Queen Charlotte Drive. The drive offers nice views of both Pelorus and Queen Charlotte Sounds and there are some nice sheltered bays and inlets along the way.Yes there are other viewpoints a little further down the road but these are just pullover points and traffic heading to Havelock is not allowed to cross the road to access them. The advantage of Cullen Point is that it has a car park, toilet and a walking track that offers views over both Pelorus Sound and back across to Havelock - so its a good chance to stretch your legs.

A quick little drop off the road with a lovely view over the sounds! If you’re short on time the look out at the car park is honestly the better view and no need to spend 15+ mins climbing up
