Q:
Hi there! I am staying in Kaikoura this coming weekend. I'd like to do this walk as I believe the Ohau walkway is still shut? Could someone please confirm this. For this walk, is there a beginning and it end point?

Not sure about Ohau walkway, but quite possible after the earthquake. The place I started on the walkway was at the Port Kean viewpoint (there's a car park near there to drive up to so you can start the walk). I heard the other end of the walkway starts in town somewhere - but I didn't complete the entire walk, so I'm not sure.

Q:
Good day, I will be driving from Blenheim to Christchurch and was wanting to stop in Kaikoura for a day or for a walk. Perhaps the Peninsula Walkway. Question please: 1. Does it cost to do the walk and 2. How long does it normally take to do the walk and enjoy the animals? AND, if we decide to stay in Kaikoura for the night, where might we look? Thanks so much DMH
A:
Sorry, no idea about the walk. About staying in the area, they were repairing from earthquake damage so should be done now, but we saw some lovely places that we drove by.

HI there...you will love your trip to Kaikoura. Like the lyrics in the song by Crowded House...NZ is 4 seasons in one day. Your days are set and you can't control the weather, so just relax and enjoy. We started our peninsula walk from in town...we grabbed a coffee and a snack then just headed off on a nice walk.

We have a young child (14month old). Is it possible to push a pram on the walkway?

A:
You've probably already been and found out for yourself that most of the track (apart from a side track descending to the beach at Whaler's Cove) is fine with a pram, so I'm answering for other people who might read this. From South Bay there is a section that is fully wheelchair accessible, but I don't remember there being steps coming up the other side, from Point Kean. If there were they were long low rise ones on a paved surface that you'd manage easily.
