Kanas Three Bays Walk

Route Introduction

  • Follow the boardwalk downstream from Kanas Lake past the three famous bays—Fairy Bay, Moon Bay and Dragon Bay—about 8 km with only about 200 m of ascent.
  • Morning mist turns Fairy Bay into a dreamscape, Moon Bay's deep green S-curve is the most photographed spot in the reserve, and the islet in Dragon Bay is said to resemble a coiled dragon.
  • The smooth, easy path suits all ages and takes about three hours.
  • Go early in the morning for the softest light and drifting mist, and keep an eye out for wildlife along the shore.
