We loved our tour with Paul travelling over his land to visit the seal colony. Paul shared his knowledge of Akaroa and the seals with us and provided us with a lovely morning tea. We were excited to see the seals and their babies living naturally on the rocks and cliff face and loved watching them play in the ocean pools.
