The Whale Trail is a shared-use long-distance trail under construction from Picton to Kaikōura in the South Island of New Zealand. When completed, the trail will provide a route between Picton, Blenheim, Seddon, Ward, Kekerengu, Clarence and Kaikōura. Construction of the trail has included modifications to bridges, and environmental enhancement of places along the route with native plantings.[2] A 33-kilometre-long (21 mi) section of the trail between Blenheim and Seddon was opened in 2023. The trail is expected to become one of the New Zealand Cycle Trail Great Rides on completion.
