Our Trip to New Zealand: Seal Coast Safari

After getting up fairly early to catch the ferry to Picton the previous day we were able to have a bit of a lie in because we were picked up from our hotel for the Seal Coast Safari.  We stopped off on Mount Victoria on the way, from where we had a great view of Wellington below us.

We had a bumpy ride along the coast during which we were shaken about a bit.

However, it was worth it to see the brown fur seals up so close.

The seals are protected from predators among these rocks and we were also a safe distance away. If you look closely you'll be able to spot a couple of seals:

Here is a short video clip of brown fur seals, although you'll see I'm not an expert camera panner

This is the lighthouse we saw from the ferry to and from Picton

We were taken back to the centre of Wellington in time for lunch.
