It’s just a short walk from the car park to the summit. There it offers a great vista of Mahau Sound / Pelorus Sound. One is able to see Havelock on her way up or down. Overall a great spot for sigh-seeing

Cullen Point Lookout is essentially at the start of the scenic route from Havelock to Picton that follows the Queen Charlotte Drive. The drive offers nice views of both Pelorus and Queen Charlotte Sounds and there are some nice sheltered bays and inlets along the way. Yes there are other viewpoints a little further down the road but these are just pullover points and traffic heading to Havelock is not allowed to cross the road to access them. The advantage of Cullen Point is that it has a car park, toilet and a walking track that offers views over both Pelorus Sound and back across to Havelock - so its a good chance to stretch your legs.
Gorgeous wee walk with a mix of shade and sun, nice clean path and gets more beautiful as you go along
Mediocre at best, there are views just as good, if not better about 30 seconds drive around the corner. Walk is a gradual climb with some uneven tracks
Beautiful views of the sound and all the commotion at the port of Picton.
A nice walk, steep in places. Round trip is more like 30 minutes.
Nice track. If you want a perfect view, turn left from car park, only 30 seconds drive around the corner, you’ll get the best spot.
This is a lovely walk, but it was slightly confusing when I read about it beforehand. There are two choices of walks from the Cullen Point Scenic Reserve Carpark. The most recommended is the quick 10 min (about 500m) walk along the ridge which offers great views towards Havelock and across Pelorus Sound at various points. It's quite steep in places, with a number of steps - but short, so manageable. The longer walk is the Coastal Walk, which doesn't ever quite get down to waterlevel. It does afford great views of the other shore of the Sound. It's a lovely track, through regenerating bush, a bit up and down, which goes around Cullen Point and also offers a number of clear views, in all direction. We did both walks and together they took about 1 h 15 mins, with plenty of stops for view admiration!
