N	Nicole Hecht on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a brilliant walk. You can get dropped of and walk into town (about 2 hours) or walk more in the reserve. Up on the bluffs there are stunning views but down along the beach you see all the seals up close!
F	Francisco Fernandez on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful track all around the Peninsula of Kaikoura. You watch a lot of seals, juat have to be careful with them, they are everywhere. Also there a few spots that are stunning.
T	Tomislav Diklan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great view at sea from sea level up to cliff views as you walk along walkway. Seals and wales are observed here. Good walkway from one end to south bay entrance/exit from one carpark to another side. Also walkway on reef side as well. Awesome for fitness and good scinery views and maory heritage.Nice stories with photos can be observed. Must do if you visit Kaikoura!
P	Prasanth Sasikumar on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great walkway. Clean and organized. A bit steep if you start from South bay reserve. Breath taking views. On a sunny day here you can see sea gulls and sea lions on the shore. You can do down the walk way and a take a dip in the ocean. There are ample places to sit along the way. Starting from southbay, the walk times range from 40mins to 4 hours round trip.
j	jose luis fowler on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Gotta be one of the nicest Dump Stations ever, includes safe to drink water. Add the beautiful scenery into the mix too, took the following pictures of the place so I could share the experience with you, what a cool place to chill out for the day too
K	Keith Douthett on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a fantastic park. Well worth a visit. Amazing sculptures and walkways, taking you all the way over the peninsula to Kaikoura. Information placards which tell the history of the area. Very good access to the beach, the sea and rock pools. Excellent toilet facilities, even drinking water at the beginning of the walking track. Scenic, beautiful, and we almost had to drag the kids away at home time.
J	Jax Clark on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice spot, bit of a snorkel but not much food to be found.
D	Dona Shiell on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Well formed walkway up to the first lookout, and well worth the effort. Didn't go further as next part of the walk was along a narrow path with a steep cliff to one side and no rail.
