Welly Weeknight Walkies - The Red Rocks! (Late Conservation Week) 💚

Meeting Point: Te Kopahou Visitor Centre Carpark, Ōwhiro Bay Parade

Difficulty: Easy – flat coastal track

This will be a fun time along Wellington's wild southern coast! This week’s walk takes us to the iconic Red Rocks Coastal Track, a 7.4 km out-and-back trail along the rugged shoreline that offers stunning views of the South Island on clear evenings. Expect a relaxed pace, great company, and maybe even some seals basking along the walk (DON'T HARRASS THEM). We will turn around at Sinclair Head and head back to Te Kopahuou Visitor Centre!

What to bring:

• Comfortable walking shoes
• Warm layers and a raincoat if it's raining
• Water and snacks, or no snacks and water
