Description

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.

We got a little scared in the morning when we didn’t see the van and was wondering if we missed it by a minutes, but it was just traffic.

“Jack” was awesome at explaining the plants and the reason why a specific fern was chosen a NZ national symbol.

The ride inside the farm was very scenic and I wouldn’t mine staying a little longer at the top of the hill and at some of the area that are enclosed with property gate to take a look at the scenery.

The seals highlight were also full of information, and unfortunately stepped on cow dung while admiring the view and checking out the seals nearby.

Overall, i cannot believe I needed to go back to the city so early.

Thanks Wanderlust and everyone who made this tour possible.
