It's all here..whale watching boat trips, helicopter flights, boat trips to view sea birds, dusky dolphins, kayacking to see seals, seal viewing from the shore and rocks....
But be warned: it's super popular and you'll need to book long before you get to this town (and then cross your fingers and hope the weather is good enough to go out and your trip doesn't get cancelled, which can happen).
Check out the seals, checking each other out.
- Pros:Whale, dolphin, bird, seal watching, walks, adventure activities
- Cons:very bleak and grey in weather like we had
- In a nutshell:So much animal life and plenty of adventure to be had

Greg (the artist) is a fantastic guy - extremely friendly and extremely talented. We believe that his maternal/paternal ancestors are maori. Tattoos are expensive but not as much as UK, and designs are so unique. We'll go back!
Comes-a-calling
Nice photos in your T-logs and tips, it brings back memories. When we did a long walk we invaded some sea lions space and he was a bit agressive towards us, so be always careful. Great page.
