Cape Foulwind Seal Colony - Westport, New Zealand - Flora and Fauna Information Signs on Waymarking.com

Tauranga Bay at Cape Foulwind is home to a fur seal breeding colony, which is accessible by a well-maintained walking track. Although this is a year-round colony, the best time to view is October to March when the Big Bull Seals return to mate and the pups are at their most playful.

The Tauranga Bay Seal Colony Walk is an excellent walking track leading to viewing platforms overlooking the seal colony. Interpretive panels at the platforms provide information on the activity in the colony, and the seals breeding cycle. They also showcase historical information about the sealing industry that once existed in New Zealand.
