Private Tours

Enter the wilder­ness of Seal Bay Con­ser­va­tion Park, where there are no enclo­sures or cages. Instead, you will be tak­en into the heart of the colony where our expe­ri­enced guides will teach you about the endan­gered and enig­mat­ic Aus­tralian sea lion. There is nowhere else in the world where you can lis­ten to an expert tell the sto­ry of how these declin­ing ani­mals hunt, surf, rest, defend their ter­ri­to­ry or inter­act with their pups.

This is a 45 minute walk­ing tour with only you and your guide. You’ll fol­low a path­way through the dune sys­tem to the beach, and along the way will expe­ri­ence spec­tac­u­lar views of the colony and the rugged coast­line. Our guides have made study­ing the Aus­tralian sea lion their life’s work. A guid­ed beach tour does not fol­low a stan­dard­ised script. Instead your guide will give their unique insights through inter­pret­ing sea lion behav­iour and the lat­est hap­pen­ings in the colony. They’ll make sure every­one is safe and keep you at an appro­pri­ate dis­tance, ensur­ing the sea lions do not feel threat­ened by human pres­ence.

This is a tru­ly excep­tion­al wildlife expe­ri­ence not to be missed.
