SEAL COAST SAFARI
The adventure starts here!!

Feel the sun on your face on a Seal Coast Safari. You will connect with the ‘real New Zealand’ as we drive for 20 rugged kilometres along the beach, over rocks, around the bays and headlands, with the ocean lapping the 4WDs. You will be delighted to come up ‘close and personal’ to our colony of New Zealand fur seals and you will be delighted just to walk amongst them, or to just observe - say 'hi' to them, look them in the eye, enjoy their native habitat along with them, as you experience the crashing waves and the famous Leaning Lighthouse of Wellington.

To get to the seals we climb in the vehicles (we call them "Sealmobiles") up and over a fault-line, and we have privileged access through a farm where we come face to face with wild goats, ostriches, and maybe wild horses. You will be gob-smacked by the spectacular views of the City, the South Island, both the Pacific and Tasman oceans and distant snow-capped mountain ranges. Finally the tour also visits the Brooklyn Wind Turbine, with more stunning views of the City, harbour and surrounding hills. Almost all of the 3-hour safari is on restricted or unmarked private roads or tracks. This means there are no crowds, only the people on the trip for much of the safari.

Departs from the i-SITE Visitor Centre at 10.30am and 1.30pm daily. The Tours takes 3 hours.

Seals guaranteed 364 days of the year.
