Seal Coast Safari
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. 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.

One seasoned traveller described it as 'the best mini-tour of my life' and an international travel writer from Sweden said it was her 'best New Zealand experience'. Try it for yourself.
