Wairaka Walkway

Follow the coastline between Pukerua Bay and Plimmerton on this 4.5 hour walk. See the Kaikoura mountains and Mana Island on a clear day. To ensure you have transport home, leave your car at Plimmerton Station and take the train to Pukerua Bay to start the trip. 12 km one way.

If you are travelling from Wellington you don't need a car of course. Simply use the train - it runs every half hour.
