Abel Tasman Seal Swim
Enjoy the unique experience of swimming with the seals
Qualmark: Endorsed
Join these playful and curious creatures at close quarters in their environment. Our low impact eco friendly swim allows these beautiful animals to respond in their own way. The trip includes a return Aqua Taxi ride form Marahau to Tonga Island, a guaranteed hour snorkelling swim with the seals kekeno. With small group numbers, your experience will be engaging and personal. The Abel Tasman Seal Swim is true magic!
The seals kekeno are not fed or tamed, so their behaviour will vary according to the tide, wave conditions, water visibility, feeding pattern and stage of the season. Most days we will sight them in the water and interact with them. Seals kekeno are surprising agile in the water for their size, a swim with them is like being in a national geographic programme – you are up close and personal.
