Coastal walk to red rock formations and a fur seal colony near Wellington
Good spot to visit on a sunny day! It makes for a lovely walk. Visitors coming from town can catch Bus 29, then walk roughly 900 metres to the visitor centre before following the coastline trail. We spotted a few seals resting before Devil’s Gate, and there were dozens more lounging in the sunshine past the gate. Absolutely worth the trip!❤️
The road isn’t perfect, but it’s absolutely worth it! We saw so many fur seals relaxing in the sun, and it was such a special experience.
Amazing walk for the view. Walk from starting point till red rocks and seal watching was only 1.5hrs or less. It's worth the view.
Relatively easy walk, although some sections are quite rocky so have good walking or hiking shoes on. It's about an hour out to the seals from the carpark. Past the carpark is only accessible for off road vehicles. We were lucky enough to spot around 15-20 seals the day we went which made the walk more than worth it. 100% reccomend a visit.
We took the walk to Red Rocks and the Devil's Gate at Sinclair Head where there were loads of seals. It isn't a long walk, an hour or so each way from the visitor centre but the going is awkward on rocks, stones and gravel and it left my knees feeling like I'd walked a lot longer. It was a lovely day but in winter most of the walk is shaded in the morning.
