See the seals near New Plymouth

Less wind, calm sea and crisp blue skies make winter a great time to cruise around the seal colony in the Sugar Loaf Islands and Marine Reserve, just off New Plymouth.

An entertaining, informative commentary on physical and social aspects of the area is given on daily tours operated by Chaddy's Charters in a restored English lifeboat, the Rescue II.
