Explore Pounawea Estuary, Owaka River, Pounawea, New Zealand
Pounawea Estuary is a special place where you can experience virgin podocarp forest rich in birdlife (including bellbirds/korimako, kererū and fantails/pīwakawaka), meeting saltmarsh and estuary.
It is home to wading birds such as royal spoonbills/kōtuku-ngutupapa and bar-tailed godwits/kauka which return to the sandspit near the mouth of the estuary each year.
You may see New Zealand sea lions.
The estuary is fed by the Ōwaka and Catlins rivers and is popular for fishing, boating, kayaking and swimming.
