Tauranga Bay Seal Colony

After the Swingbridge we continued to the west coast and almost immediately came across a sign for the Tauranga Bay Seal colony. As Marion had missed the seals in the Abel Tasman Park, she was keen to see these seals in the wild. We were not to be disappointed.




We walked from the end of the bay to the top of a cliff which put us about forty feet above the seals. They seemed totally unaware of the well behaved observers and carried on as only seals can.

How manhy seals can you spot in this shot?
