    Great experience. Tour guide was very knowledgeable. The only thing I would say is that the tour guide should of had enough water for the 7 of us. He only had pop. Also, I wish he would of helped us find and see the seals

    Smashing outing to an eco forest and out to the coast up, over and around the farming countryside down to the coast to view seals. A small group with enthusiastic guide and comfy vehicle. We opted to be dropped off in Wellington for the mono rail up to the botanical gardens and walked back down which was a perfect ending - stopping at the cafe on the way

    This was a great tour. Our guide Blue was super nice and gave great commentary. We did a quick stop at Otari Bush to see some native trees and plants. We stopped for a few photo ops on the way down to the coast then headed down to see the seals and an old lighthouse. We saw lots of seals and the area is beautiful. Blue provided some small snacks and drinks. He took us through to see some city highlights. We then got off for some shopping in town before getting the shuttle back to the ship. I would do this tour again!

    Despite only having about 30 minutes on the beach with the seals, it was a wonderful day. The ride was comfortable, the views were amazing during the drive and the overall day was great.
