Searles Sea Tours

Reviewed By Sharon S

We have had the most amazing seal safari today.
The crew were helpful, thoughtful, had great knowledge and information about wizzy the wash Monster herself, the seals and the coastline.
The crew made our day beyond perfect.
My son has special needs, the crew are fantastic with him, my son loves seeing them, they are thoughtful and always treat him as a young man.
I would highly recommend to anyone to go and have a tour.
My 2 brothers came today and as we got off they said why doesn’t everybody go on here, they are both grown men and loved it.

This is one of the best Sea Life centres I've been too. The setting is lovely, with good parking nearby. The staff were super helpful and knowledgeable, even giving us some advice on a pet we were getting (think the guy's name was Ali - thank you for that!) The site is clean and well kept and everything beautifully set out. Loved the seal hospital at the back of the site. Love that you can pay once and come and go as you please for the day. We went in for a little while, left to take a trip on the Wash Monster and then went back in. We had a great day!

An excellent indoor centre outlining the history of our Victorian seaside town. The Hunstanton Civic Society volunteers have put together a venue well worth a visit, They are safeguarding the history of the town its buildings, people and history for generations to come. This centre compares admirably with some exensive commercial presentations and I commend them for their efforts.

Hunstanton Tourist Information Centre

Reviewed By besssie - Chesterfield, United Kingdom

We hadn't visited Hunstanton before so when we walked past it seemed a good idea to check what was available. We picked up the usual leaflets and a useful street map. Most useful was the information about how to buy a weeks parking. Our blue badge only meant we had the right to park in the most accessible places, but had to pay full price. If we had been staying longer this sort of 'permit ' would have been worth buying.
