The Foveaux Walkway is a network of walking tracks on Bluff Hill at the southern tip of the South Island, near Bluff. The tracks are jointly managed by Invercargill City Council's Parks Division and the Department of Conservation. Visitors come for native birdlife and bush, coastal views over Foveaux Strait, and in winter a chance of seeing southern right whales or orca. The walks start from the signposted Greenpoint and Stirling Point areas, with a car park and interpretation panels. Choices include a 15-minute walk along the boardwalk to Greenpoint, which is suitable for wheelchairs, a 50-minute return walk from Stirling Point to Lookout Point and the Foveaux Memorial, and a two-hour walk from Stirling Point to Ocean Beach. A steep track climbs to the summit, where a viewing platform looks over the area, and a 1,500-metre loop through regenerating bush takes about 30 minutes return.
Customers describe the walk as one of the best in the area, with lovely views and a pleasant breeze. One visitor says a calm day suits the walk best, and another advises a wind-proof jacket and comfortable shoes, since the strait is windy. Dogs must be on a lead, and are not allowed on the farmland beyond the turnstile on the longer track. For a walker in Bluff who wants coastal views and a short or long walk, the network offers a range of lengths in one place.
