The Catlins 3/3


Day 14 (30.1.2013): The Catlins

Yeah, I’m still here, it’s truly awesome. All the backpackers seemed to be fully booked last night, so I treated myself to a night in a b’n’b.

As the b’n’b had direct beach access I started my day with a walk along the beach of Porpoise Bay. Followed by a 2.5hr adventurous waterfall wilderness hike at Waipohatu. Awesome! Have I mentioned that I love rainforest? :D




Next I made my way to Slope Point, New Zealand’s most southerly point. Now I have seen both, the most northerly point Cape Reienga in 2002 and the most southerly point Slope Point just today.

Next over to Waipapa Point which has a beautiful lighthouse and sea lions!

Tonight I try again for some penguin spotting … and was very successful. Three penguins made it very close to the viewpoint.




Finally, curio bay treated us with an awesome sunset.




Off to Invacargill and Stewart Island tomorrow.
