What you can expect
Discover one of New Zealand’s best-kept secrets on a 3.5 hour Wellington tour to the remote and rugged Seal Coast. Departing from central Wellington, this guided tour takes you off the beaten path in a luxury 4WD Mercedes, travelling through private farmland and native bush with panoramic views of the Cook Strait, South Island and Kaikoura Ranges.
Spot iconic New Zealand wildlife in its natural environment, from native bird species like Kaka and Tui to the adorable New Zealand Fur Seals lounging along the wild south coast. You’ll explore areas rich in history and conservation – including access through Terawhiti Station and the ‘leaning lighthouse’ at Karori Rock.
Your experienced local guide will share fascinating stories of the region, including the return of kiwis to the hills through the Capital Kiwi Project. Light refreshments are served on the beach, giving you time to take in the beauty and serenity of this untouched coastline.
Whether you're a nature-lover, adventurer, or simply want to see New Zealand wildlife up close, the Seal Coast Safari is a must-do Wellington tour experience.
