Great Walks and Thrilling Scenery!
Timaru and the surrounding district have an excellent range of walking tracks — from flat coastal paths at Caroline Bay and through the Otipua Wetlands to native bush walks in Centennial Park, Claremont Bush and Pekapeka Gully. The rivers provide a different kind of walking — the Opihi Walkway, Pareora River Walk and Waihi River Walkway are all well-regarded. For something more remote, the walks in Peel Forest through podocarp bush are worth the drive.
