The Pukaki Flats Track is a 12 km (7 mi) long bike trail on New Zealand's South Island. The trail winds through stunning scenery around Lake Pukaki and offers a variety of viewpoints and points of interest. The Pukaki Flats Track begins at Lake Pukaki and leads through flat, open countryside with breathtaking views of the lake and the surrounding mountains. Suitable for mountain bikes and gravel bikes, the trail offers a good mix of singletrack and flat sections. The trail is recommended for experienced cyclists. The terrain is rocky in places, and there are several river crossings.

Highly recommended! Definitely a visit!

The Maori offer whale watching trips here.

The Downhill / Uphill to Hanmersprings is rough gravel and quite steep. If cycling Jack's Pass is preferable to Jollie's Pass, as the road to Jollie's pass is a 4x4 Track which is not maintained.
