-- About this video --

After an awesome day on our Catlins Road Trip yesterday, we are hitting the road once again to explore more of the Catlins Coast! This time, we are heading to Curio Bay!

Curio Bay in the Catlins is not only a location of an ancient fossilised forest (or petrified forest), it is also a place to spot yellow-eyed penguins for free. However, we are not here are the right time of day to see penguins. We are here at low tide to fully explore the petrified forest at Curio Bay. 

After Curio Bay, we head next door to Porpoise Bay to have ice cream and go to a viewpoint over the Catlins Coast. 

Finally, Niagara Falls New Zealand is on our itinerary. It is said to be the smallest waterfall in New Zealand. We can’t believe this is the first waterfall in the Catlins we are going to see when the Catlins is famous for its Catlins waterfalls. 

So what do you think of Curio Bay and Niagara Falls NZ? Would you add these to your itinerary of a trip in the Catlins? LUK in the comments!
