Not for the faint hearted. Get the train at Waikanae to Paekakariki, or drive to Paekakariki, walk the track where you end up at Pukerua Bay, then get a train back to Waikanae. There are spectacular views, and it is one of the highlights of the Te Araroa Trail.

It is possible to do short walks on this trail - I can recommend Paekakariki to Pukerua Bay. The views are extraordinary. 10 kms https://www.teararoa.org.nz/wellington/paekakariki-escarpment/

Sightseeing

Wellington is only 1 hour by car or 1 hour by train from Waikanae. It is a beautiful city with a lot of places of interest including Te Papa Museum, The Cable Car, Botanic Gardens, Weta Cave and a huge number of restaurants and bars. For Lord of The Rings fans there are half day and full day tours
