Top Norwich Nature and Wildlife Tours

Set sail from Lowestoft on a seal spotting trip that takes in the picturesque coasts of Gorleston and Great Yarmouth. Enjoy speeding along on the ocean on your way to the seals, then get your binoculars at the ready as you slow down to see where the seals are basking on sand banks and bobbing in the water — this trip does not disturb the seals.

This self-guided Norfolk road trip is designed to show how the region’s waterways, coast and historic towns connect into one coherent journey rather than a series of separate day trips. Instead of piecing routes together yourself, the guide links Norwich, the Norfolk Broads and the North Norfolk Coast into a clear touring structure that flows naturally from city streets to river landscapes and wide coastal horizons. You can follow the full route from Norwich to the coast or explore individual sections depending on your timeframe. Along the way the guide highlights historic towns, harbour villages, nature-rich marshes and some of England’s most distinctive coastal scenery. Rather than a rigid itinerary, the guide provides narrative context, route progression and flexible time-based planning so you can adapt around wildlife watching, coastal walks and slower travel. With 12 months access included, you can start planning well before your trip and return to the guide whenever you need.

Spend the day discovering the wonders of the deep at Hunstanton SEA LIFE Sanctuary.

Plus, you can sit back and relax in a coffee shop overlooking Hunstanton’s picturesque seafront.
