Whale Watching tours just 90 minutes away, down the coast at Kaikoura. On the way, stop and see the seals resting on the rocks and enjoying the sun on their backs. If you have time, take a 15 minute walk up a side stream and meet up with the seal cubs, who for safety reasons have been hidden away, by their mothers, from the large bull seals.
