Akaroa Seal Colony Safari

The Nature Experience Of A Lifetime!

Take a unique journey from the charming shoreline village of Akaroa, up over the rim of an extinct volcano, past spectacular farmland and ocean views, and down eastern slopes to the Pacific Ocean. There, at the foot of one-hundred-metre cliffs, we will encounter an adorable colony of New Zealand Fur Seals, swimming and sun bathing amongst 8-million-year-old volcanic deposits.

My wife and I were fortunate enough to do the Seal Safari with Paul as the last activity on our honeymoon in the South Island. Paul provides an excellent experience, and his experience and deep care for the seals and conservation came through very genuinely. We learnt a lot about the seals as well as the history of Akaroa, which was interesting. Overall a great experience and nice end to our trip!
