Seal Coast Safari has now sold out for Wellington Open Day, Sunday 26 May. Find out the other fun activitives available on Wellington Open Day.
Just minutes from the city centre lies nature’s playground!
You’ll connect with the ‘real New Zealand’ during your breathtaking three-hour Seal Coast Safari.
To get to the ‘Seal Coast’ you’ll travel through private land, not accessible by the public, in powerful, off-road vehicles. See animals including ostriches, goats, deer and wild Kaimanawa horses. Marvel at the snow-capped mountains of the South Island, and take in stunning panoramic views from the highest lookout in Wellington.
Stories abound as we drive for 20 rugged kilometers along the beach, over rocks and across small rivers, to Tongue Point – home to a colony of amazing New Zealand fur seals.
Enjoy tea, coffee and a muffin with the seals and take in the beauty of their natural habitat, experiencing the crashing waves and the famous Leaning Lighthouse.
Listen to local stories and relax before the homeward journey around the bays and past the spectacular Red Rocks.
Seal Coast Safari has been providing guests with exhilarating, exclusive access to the best scenery in Wellington for over 15 years.
A Qualmark endorsed visitor activity with seals guaranteed all year round; this truly is a New Zealand nature experience not to be missed.
Tours take three hours and depart from the Wellington i-SITE Visitor Information Centre at 10.00am and 1.30pm daily.
