I'm working on a ninja character who very much would like to make his way through walls to ensure that he gets to kick off the surprise round. So far, I don't think there's an easier way to pass through walls than blink. Are there any magic items or spells that would be easier than this?
Right now my best option seems to be invisibly blinking through the wall, moving into position, and unleashing sneak attack death.
Ninjas get Ghost Step as a master trick (to walk through walls for a ki point) but Iimagine you want this done faster. Your best early bet is probably going to have to be walking around the walls invisible by some means and sneaking very slowly, but that ain't bad at +20 for being invisible.

A ring of blink isn't a bad choice for anyone with sneak attack if you build for it. If you pick up Moonlight Stalker Feint (admittedly it's expensive - 3 feat pre-reqs - though mostly not bad themselves) it lets you get sneak attack all of the time against anything you can bluff & isn't immune to them. Even against those with True Seeing.
Note: It also requires the Shadow Strike feat - but most ninjas/rogues pick that up anyway.
Maybe not appropriate for you, but my sorcerer's favorite way to walk through walls was the Elemental Body I spell to gain an earth elemental's earth glide ability paired with invisibility and possibly silence.
In most dungeon settings as well as stone buildings it's ideal for scouting out terrain; using the walls, floors and ceiling surrounding rooms as your own personal secret passage while briefly peeking into adjoining chambers. Bypass traps and sentries, map out the whole dungeon, identify primary targets and then report back to the party to develop a strategy. Dimension door would then allow us to pop in on the unprepared BBEG. Taking out the BBEG first and then working our way back out of the dungeon become our defacto approach. Very effective.
The Alchemy Guide has an alchemical item that burrows through walls. Dynamic Entry is now a possibility in PFS :D
Mind pointing me to the name of this item?
Does Stunning Irruption count as walking through walls? It certainly ensures that you kick off the surprise round.

I would *love* to see a ninja build that used Stunning Irruption and Dastardly Finish somehow.
