The Whale Trail is planned to be an approximately 210km cycling and walking trail along the South Island&'s spectacular northeast coast, from Picton to Kaikōura.
Driven by local communities and delivered by the Marlborough Kaikōura Trail Trust, the proposed trail will connect the communities of Blenheim, Seddon, Ward, Kekerengu and Clarence, and showcase our regions' rich, diverse landscapes, history, industries and people.
The Whale Trail will be an incredible world-class cycling and walking trail, connecting coastal communities between Picton and Kaikōura. The Trail is managed by the Marlborough Kaikoura Trail Trust (MKTT).
This cache is placed along The Whale Trail on the (as yet) uncompleted Waitohi Section between Picton and Tua Marina (Tuamarino to be politically correct). At the date of listing, according to the Trail website the opening of this section means the Whale Trail is complete from Koromiko to Ward.
This cache is placed on a trackside structure designed to prevent bikers and walkers falling onto the railway tracks below on this narrow piece of the trail.
