South Catlins New Zealand
There is an abundance of native wildlife in the bush and around the coast in Waikawa. Of outstanding importance along the Catlins coast is the Hoiho (Yellow-eyed Penguin) - the world's rarest penguin - which nest around the Curio Bay and Waikawa area.
Other native coastal birds include: Titi (Muttonbird), Te Koau (Black Shag), Kotare (Kingfisher) and Torea-pango (Black or Variable Oyster-catcher). The most common native forest birds include: Kereru (Native Wood Pidgeon), Tui, Korimako (Bellbird), Yellow-breasted Tit, Grey Warbler, Piwakawaka (Fantail) and Brown Creeper. Pukeko (Swamp Hen) are frequently seen around the harbour and in the wetlands near creeks and swamps.
Marine Mammals
Tucked in between the Waikawa Harbour and Curio Bay (Tuma Toka) is Porpoise Bay (Whaka Aihe), home to the Hector Dolphin (Papakanua), the world's smallest dolphin and one of the rarest. These small dolphins are only 1.4m long, are distinctive by their black and white markings and pale, almost white colouring.
Two other marine mammals common to the South Catlins coast are the Rapoka (Sea Lion) and Kekeno (Fur Seal) often seen basking in the sun, on the rocks at both Curio and Porpoise Bays.

PLEASE SUBSCRIBE!
The drive from Invercargill to Te Anau at the bottom of New Zealand's South Island takes you past the fascinating Clifden suspension bridge and gorgeous snow capped mountains to lovely Lakes Manipouri and Te Anau.
This route is somewhat off the beaten track but is well worth taking for the scenery alone.
