Hay Scenic Reserve walk
Time: 20 min return
Follow the Akaroa Highway to Hilltop, then along the Summit Road to the Pigeon Bay turnoff. The reserve is adjacent to the road, 5 km from the turnoff.
Head clockwise around this scenic loop track through one of the best remaining stands of lowland podocarp forest on the peninsula. Large mataī, kahikatea, tōtara, and miro mix with exotics in this small reserve.
The easy grade makes this walk suitable for small children and family groups.

4.5/5
Nice short bush walk of about 20 minute loop.
On the road down to pigeon bay.
Great for the wee kids especially for something to do on a drizzly day as the tree canopy makes it nice and sheltered.
Most interesting was some large toadstools. Some of the plants are labelled which is good and beware the native stinging nettle
