Owhiro Bay Travel Guide

Wellington

Lovely trek today
While you are in Wellington don't forget to visit the colony of seals at the Owhiro Bay. It's a long walk so leave the half of a day just to go there.

Brooklyn, Wellington, New Zealand. Taken while riding my mountain bike up the hill towards Barking Emu and Red Rocks trails. Great views up there.

From the Red Rocks walkway looking back to Wellington's harbour entrance. On a good day, you don't want to try this in a southerly storm!
