由于天色还早,我们就直奔seal colony,开始还找半天没看到,以为退潮了,他们都下海了。后来发现他们就和石头一样的躺着,是很难被发现的。由于它们都是野生的,所以,别靠得太近。而我们很幸运的是在要离开的时候,有一只小海豹正在往海边走,就一蹦一跳的到某小妞身前了,还停下来对视,可把某小妞乐坏了。
这里最棒的地方就是瀑布顶部,真是棒极了。我简直不敢相信,那里有很多海豹宝宝,在那么高的水流上。大概10分钟就能轻松步行到达那里,但是一行要达到顶部,这样才能让你难以忘怀。我们都不想回来啦。真想带上午餐,在这里坐上一整天,那将多么令人愉快。
What fun to bump into silly seals sleeping in unexpected places. Got a few great close-up photos. One gave me a good bark to let me know I was getting too close so I scurried back from him.
One could stand for hours watching the seal pups playing safely in the rock pool. They dance around and play with the large chunks of seaweed - climb up the cliffs and dive back in.. There were so many of them the pool looked alive. And all for free off the side of the road.
没见过海狮的可以来看看,见多了就觉得一般般了。旁边的徒步道不错,可以往山上走走。在海水落潮的时候可以沿海边走过去,风景不错。
Walked out to this site on the recommendation of our motel. A lovely walk along the ocean front to the colony. We had an opportunity to see seals close up in the wild (no closer than 10m). This is a unique experience, as it is easily accessible, and the seals are right there! Do not miss this!
This was brilliant, we get to walk over the rocks where seals are sunbathing in the sun. What an experience, very cool to see. They smell a bit but who cares!!!!
These seals are at the end of a paved road hanging out on the rocks at the shore. One had come right next to the walkway and was too busy scratching to care about us. You won't get any closer unless you dive with them, and maybe not even then. The walk from Kaikoura, around one easy hour each way, is very scenic.
Not that you should or we did, but to get this close for pics was stunning. Rest of marine life at low tide interesting also,well worth 1-2 hrs .
海豹,海豹,离人很近的海豹。很壮观。不过,这儿的海豹不是很活跃——它们是来这儿休息的。推荐大家去远一点的地方看小海豹,如果有机会的话。
