To see seals go between May and October. Please do not go to near the seals as they are territorial. You can walk from Owhiro Bay Quarry.

This is a walk to the local seal colony. Best time is in the colder months and probably something nicest to do over the middle of the day. Take a warm jacket and camera. It’s not a walk with any bush but it has fantastic ocean scenery and views to the South Island.

Put half a day aside for this easy coastal walk to Red Rocks and a fur seal colony on the south side of Wellington. Make sure to take a drink and lunch! Explore the rugged south coast of Wellington by walking from Owhiro Bay to the Red Rocks (Pari-whero); an area of national significance with fascinating geology and Maori history. Check out the red-coloured rocks that were formed 200 million years ago. Maori folklore tells two stories relating to the colour of the rocks. In one, Kupe - the famous Polynesian explorer - was gathering paua (shellfish) here when one clamped his hand. He bled and stained the rocks red. In the other story, the red is the blood of Kupe's daughters. Fearing for their father's safety on a long voyage, they gashed themselves in grief over his absence.
