The Catlins: A Trip To The Edge Of The World

Wild, rocky coasts, vast sandy beaches dotted with sea lions, lush rainforests, and picture-perfect waterfalls — this is what you’ll experience if you make the journey to the Catlins in southern New Zealand. If you love the salty sea air in your lungs and the icy polar winds in your hair, and if you love taking the road less travelled, head South. Luckily there’s a route for you to follow. The Southern Scenic Route is relatively well sign posted and includes most of the highlights. The Catlins are close enough to the city of Dunedin that you could knock off the highlights in one day. I know this, because my friends and I tested the theory a few months ago. It was a long day (8am departure, 10pm return) but we took our time at each of the sites that we visited (all four of us are hobby or professional photographers so we needed time) and we felt like we had seen the best of the Catlins. However, I would recommend taking two or three days to explore further, rather than attempting the one-day mission. It’s simply too beautiful down there, and there are plenty of accommodation opportunities that would save you the three hour drive back to Dunedin in the dark, after a long day of hiking and exploring.
