Port William

The Port William coastal track, part of the Rakiura Great Walk, is one of the island’s most popular half-day walks. Discover this unique part of Aotearoa either with an experienced guide, or as a freedom walk.

Take advantage of on demand departures to Port William so that you can enjoy the track in one direction. After a short cruise along the stunning coastline with commentary, we will drop you off at the Port William wharf.

Discover the former Maori Beach sawmill settlement on the 3-4 hour hike through the varied Rakiura National Park forest to Lee Bay.

From Lee Bay, you can book a taxi to collect you and take you back to Halfmoon Bay/Oban. Or you can walk the rest of the way back along the local roads, an additional 1.25 hours walk. If you are looking for an additional challenge, the Horseshoe Point Headland walk loop is another 1.5 hours along the way.
