Sea lions and Seal sighting in the UK how much would it cost for 3 people?

Answer 1

There are some places in Scotland where you could find seals on the beach (and it would be free). I saw them last in Norfolk where we went out on a little dingy, but they are not hard to find so you do not have to go with a guide if you can rent a boat. Seals are spread out around the UK (look at the link, it has a map with dots for hotspots).

As for sea lions there is no species that frequents UK waters, indeed i don't think that there ever has been. There are large populations in the US (stellers sealions) in South Africa and new zealand, they are quite wide spread/ Ive gone to see a colony in south Africa, but as humans disturb the coast so much sealins often are on little islands off the coast and so can only be got to on a boat. The best sighting that i ever had of a sealion, was when walking on a New Zealand beach, where one hauled itself out of the sea, and came straight towards us. When it got to about 5m from us it flopped down in the sand, flipped sand on itself to protect itself from the sun and went to sleep.
