-- About this video --

Today is our fourth day of our Catlins Road Trip and this morning we are checking out McLean Falls! McLean Falls is often said to be the most impressive of the Catlins’ waterfalls so let’s go check it out!

The waterfall is only 2km drive from our accommodation at the Whistling Frog Resort so we get there early to stay the McLean Falls Walk taking about 20 minutes to walk through the forest and to the waterfall. The waterfall is magnificent and a must do in the Catlins!

Next on our itinerary is the Tautuku Estuary Walk. This is another of the short walks in the Catlins which is best done at sunrise or sunset – however it is overcast when we walk it so we just get to enjoy the estuary views and diverse eco-system of this wetland area. 

So what do you think of McLean Falls and the Tautuku Estuary? Would you add these activities to your Catlins itinerary? LUK in the comments!
