Red Rocks Walkway

 

Red Rocks and Sinclair Head are two major spots. Red Rocks and its surrounding reserve are of national significance, rich with fascinating geology and Māori history. Sinclair Head is a haul-out site for male New Zealand fur seals and a popular tourist attraction.

Up to 150 seals come to rest and feed in winter, between May and August. We could see a few when we was there.
