Join us for this unique and exciting exploration of Wellington’s natural wonders and rugged south coast. Meet us at the Central Wellington iSite.

We visit spectacular historic rain forest and venture through private farmland with sheep & cattle. If the weather allows you are being treated to stunning views of the Cook Strait, South Island and Kaikoura Ranges.
Once down to sea-level, we’ll meet some much-loved locals – New Zealand Fur Seals. Observe these playful animals as they sunbathe and swim. Learn about their history, ecology, habitat and conservation status. The Seal Coast Safari is a must-do for anyone who loves nature, wildlife, and adventure.
