Catlins Surrounds Introduction
The Catlins Surrounds is a region in the southern South Island of New Zealand known for its rugged coastline, stunning natural landscapes, and unique wildlife. It is located in the Otago region, approximately 250 kilometers south of Dunedin, and is a popular destination for tourists and outdoor enthusiasts. The region is characterized by a series of narrow, winding roads that wind their way through dense forests, coastal plains, and rocky outcrops. It is home to a variety of species of birds, including the rare yellow-eyed penguin, as well as fur seals, dolphins, and albatrosses. The area is also known for its stunning waterfalls, including the McLean Falls, which cascades 80 meters into a deep pool below. The Catlins Surrounds is a relatively undeveloped region, and much of its natural beauty remains unspoiled. It is an ideal place for hiking, camping, and exploring, and offers a peaceful and tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.
