Wellington's natural wonders are amplified on the rugged south coast -- the Seal Coast. Although only a short drive from downtown, this destination feels like another world and is unknown to most Wellingtonians.
Traveling by air-conditioned 4WD Mercedes vehicle, you will pass some iconic Wellington landmarks on your way to a private farm with sheep, cattle, and goats. An exhilarating climb up the road offers stunning views of Cook Strait, the South Island, and the Kaikoura Ranges. Cross the terrain of one of New Zealand's oldest and largest farms and take note of the seismic fault lines in this young country that is still settling into its Ring of Fire location.
At sea level, you'll traverse a rocky track to meet some much-loved locals -- New Zealand fur seals. Observe these amazing animals as they sunbathe, play, and swim. Learn about their history, ecology, and conservation from your friendly, knowledgeable guide as you enjoy a refreshing morning or afternoon snack. This is a must-do for those who love nature, wildlife, and getting off the beaten track.
