    Great to wonder to if you’re in Kaikoura. Seals were out on the rocks today but we did get close to two sleepy seals!

    Es lohnt sich, einige Hundert Meter nach rechts zu gehen, um nicht nur einzelne seals zu sehen, um die sich viele Touristen aufgebaut haben.

    No seals in the middle of the afternoon, maybe more in the evening or in the morning. But a very nice cove, original, with very steep rocks and a beautiful view of the mountains of Kaikoura Range.

    Only two seals here today. Just be aware will depend on weather as other comments said they saw loads. Nice area to just walk around though
