Seal Colony car park

The walk to the seal colony is a difficult 2.5kms each way and we passed a large snake. When you arrive at the seal colony you will need binoculars to see them.

I walked from the blowholes and Petrified Forest to the Seal Colony. Unfortunately I didn’t see any seals but saw lots of kangaroos and wallabies. Fantastic walk and I highly recommend. My husband isn’t a walker so he drove and waited for me at the entrance to the Seal Colony carpark. Took me just over 2 hours and the views are spectacular.

Beautiful views.. walk to seal colony is looooong but views are spectacular.. its worth the walk.. takes around 1.5-2 hrs one way so keep some water n snacks handy.. lots of wildlife to spot apart from seals

had a mid blowing experience with the seal colony boat tour - there are now a huge number of seals and cubs - they have fully recovered from population collapse in the 70's

It is a tough spot to reach because it will take you 40 minutes’ walk from the car park! If you are not very fit, this is definitely going to be a challenge for you (80 minutes’ round-way hike)! The view on the way was picturesque as you can see the extremely blue South Pacific, windmills and adorable sheep! You can only see seals from a viewing point that is about 100m above and don’t expect your iPhone can take amazing photos!

So many seals! The walk to the seal colonies was also a beautiful walk. We saw 2 echidnas, 3 kangaroos, a big brown snake (be careful and wear boots with ankle coverage), tonnes of different birds and hundreds of seals! We are pretty sure we heard a wombat moving around as well.

Stuff you should know about the seal colony:1. You can't acces it with car, there is a parking place at the end of the beach and you can leave your car there and start your walking path to the seal viewing point that is on top of the hill.2. When you walk up to the seal colony viewing point it's really a beautiful path that is totally worth It! I can't stress that enough how beautiful it is. It will probably take you and hour or hour and a half in one way but on the way down it goes much faster but be prepared with drinks and food.3. At the top viewing point you can see the seals playing and swimming on the beach. Binoculars are very useful here. You also might see a lot of cangoroos!I really recoomend this trip by foot!

Definitely a hike. Up and down hill, stairs, but you really warm up quickly. Beware of snakes in summer. The smell might not be friendly for all. Can't guarantee to see seals, but we enjoyed the area!

It is a very Long walk we only went to the first spot to see them ‘ we used binoculars and could see them swimming around ‘ to get to the colony it’s a at least 2 hour return walk which is difficult.i would suggest a early morning to start
