Our guide Ross as very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. This trip was a little scary on the drive to the deals but well worth it. The landscape was amazing and breathtaking well worth it. We saw numerous seals lazing in the sun and in the water.

We had an incredible day in Wellington! We started off at the beautiful gardens and then made our way to the coast, through incredible farm lands, to spot the fur seals! We had an amazing time and would highly recommend this activity to anyone!
