Seal Watching Harwich: A Family Adventure

Imagine a perfect family day out, cruising through the serene backwaters of East Anglia. As your boat glides through the water, the excitement builds when you spot seals lounging on the mudbanks. This is what Seal Watching Harwich offers – an unforgettable experience that brings you close to nature in a thrilling and educational way. With guaranteed sightings on every trip, you’re assured a close view of these charming creatures from the comfort of our boat. We prioritise their natural habitat and never disturb the seals. If you don’t get a good look, we offer a free trip to make up for it.

Our seal watching tours are open year-round, typically on weekends and during school holidays. The Hamford Water Nature Reserve, home to around 250 seals, provide a fascinating glimpse into the life of these charming creatures. Each trip promises a close encounter with seals, and if you don’t see them up close, we offer a free trip to make up for it. Join us as we navigate the backwaters to Oakley Creek, part of the Hamford Water Nature Reserve, where seals enjoy resting on the mudbanks.
