Kaiteriteri walks

With a National Park on the doorstep, getting out into the native bushland and walking is a must-do activity. There are plenty of walks in the area, and you can expect to see native birds like Tui, Kereru, South Island Robin, Bellbird and Fantails. Along the coastline, look for fur seals, shags, Little Blue penguins and dolphins.
