Irving, TX (prHWY.com) July 21, 2011 - Seal trips are one of the most popular tourist attractions in North Norfolk. Seals, along with migratory birds, are natural inhabitants of sand banks around the North Norfolk coast. Seal trips commonly start from Morston Quay or Blakeney Quay up to Blakeney point and during these coastal tours, colonies of seals can be seen playing and swimming around the visiting boats. Blakeney seals are known to be friendly to visiting tourists, so Norfolk seal trips are well-recommended for family outings.

Seal Watching - What To Expect?
There are only few places on Earth where you can regularly see and observe seals, so kids and adults alike always feel fascinated about seal watching. As the term implies, with seal watching all you have to do is to watch and observe the seals in their natural habitat. These animals look cute especially when they play and swim around visiting boats. After the breeding season, you can also see little pups along with their mothers.

Identifying Blakeney Seals
In general, there are two types of seals living around Blakeney point - the Common and Grey seals. They both live in colonies and each colony has 100 to 500 seals. Common seal pups are usually born from June to August while Grey seal pups are born from November to January, so during these months you can appreciate many little pups joining the colony. Seal pups grow very quickly, gaining weight at a fast rate around 1 to 1.6 kilograms per day.

Finding Seal Colonies
The crews in charge of the seal trip know the best route to take in searching for the seal colonies. Most of the time, you can find seal colonies relaxing on sand banks while some groups of seals can also be found swimming in the sea. During windy days and unfavorable weather conditions, the route of seal trips may be changed but eventually the whole trip will still lead to the seal colonies. On several occasions, colonies of migratory birds can also be seen especially during their nesting season.

Appreciating seals during Norfolk seal trips is a very relaxing experience, since seals are known to be friendly and gentle animals. In preparing for a seal trip, make sure to bring waterproof jackets as you can get wet from the splashes of water along the side of the boat. The weather condition may vary as well so it is best to be well-prepared for any weather changes. Bringing kids during the trip is also allowed and encouraged, as long as they are guided by their parents throughout the tour. After all, kids will definitely have fun as they learn more about nature and wildlife.
