What to expect

Katiki Point Reserve is a scenic area located on the southern tip of the Moeraki peninsula in Otago, New Zealand. The reserve is home to the historic Katiki Point Lighthouse, which was built in 1878 and is still operational today. The lighthouse is surrounded by a variety of wildlife, including yellow-eyed penguins, New Zealand fur seals, and several species of sea and shore birds. The reserve is also significant for its geological features, with large numbers of New Zealand fur seals hauling out to rest on the rocky platforms around Katiki Point and Moeraki Peninsula.
