It was a beautiful day so we decided to head out to the seal colony and do the peninsula walk. We walked along the coast and enjoyed the scenery (note the snow covered peaks).


Once we got to the seal colony we headed up the hill to the top of the cliffs. From the top we had a great view of the mountains, the ocean and the seal colony below. It was a fabulous day.
The walk goes around the peninsula on top of the cliffs through cow paddocks and grasslands.
Below is a beautiful view of Whaler's Bay. This area is known for having whales close to land and was one of the prime whaling locations in New Zealand during the 19th century.
So many beautiful views during the walk. This is looking southwest from the peninsula. Kaikoura is northwest from the peninsula.
There was also cool geology along the walk. The water is very shallow in places and just skims over the rock surface below.
At the end of the walk we came across some Maori carvings along the South Bay entrance to the peninsula walk.
