Cape Bridgewater Seal Colony Walk

Walking track Cape Bridgewater, Victoria, Australia

What to expect

The Cape Bridgewater Seal Colony Walk is a popular natural attraction in Victoria, Australia, home to up to 2000 Australian and Long-nosed Fur Seals. The area offers two walking options to view the seal colony: a 5.4 km return walk along the highest cliff top in Victoria, or a longer 8km return walk from the blowholes car park. The viewing platform for the colony is 70 metres above the colony. The best time to visit the fur seals is between January and March, but seals can be seen all year round. The Cape Bridgewater colony has become the only mainland seal breeding colony in Australia, with pups born in December and beginning to swim at 6 weeks old. The area also features unstable cliffs and terrain hazards, and certain restrictions apply, such as no dogs, no camping, and no bicycles
