Views for days and numerous Seals. What more could you ask for?!
Would really recommend this tour. Spectacular views and scenery and able to get quite close to seals. Also stopped off at Wilton's bush reserve. Our tour guide Grant, was so knowledgeable and informative about everything we saw.
Thanks for your feedback! The scenery really is spectacular and is unlike anything else close to Wellington city. Seeing the Seals up close [though not too close!] in their own habitat doesn't lose it's charm even after years of doing this!
Great Tour , Highly recommend , Guide was very friendly and Knowledgeable , leisurely drive through the Wind Farm on the way was a highlight for the Wife
Although the Seal Colony is the destination on our tour, the journey to get there is often what people remember most. The views and scenery are stunning, and we don't get tired of sharing them with people!
Grant was a very knowledgable, friendly guide. It was great to see the fur seals in a safe, comfortable environment. As a bonus, we saw a pair of Takahe. highly recommend.
Thanks for your recommendation, Alan. We searched far and wide to find appropriate and comfortable vehicles to run our tour in, so it's great to hear that it's working! We're also very mindful of the Seals so as to not disturb them, and the extra birdlife is always a bonus!
Great afternoon getting out of Wellington and checking out the coast. Incredible to see the seals of the beach. Just stunning landscape. My guide was so knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend, I had a great afternoon.
Thanks for your feedback, Tracey! I'm very happy to hear that you enjoyed yourself. We know we're pretty lucky to have access to this hidden part of Wellington that even many locals aren't aware of, and our guides are always keen to share their stories with our guests!
