If you are keen for a decent hike rather than a walk in the park, then Beaks & Feathers Port William guided half day hike is for you. This walk is day one of the Rakiura Track and is roughly 10km long (with many steps and a bit of rock hopping hear and there). Don your walking shoes and active wear and board the water taxi for a 30 minute ride up the coast to the Port William wharf. Spend the next 3 – 4 hours walking to Lee Bay where we will have a van waiting for you to drive you back to Halfmoon Bay. We stop to take photos, rest and eat along the way.
