Chinaman's Hat is an incredible site to observe a bachelor community of Australian Fur Seals, as they rest upon the man-made haul-out platform and swim about in the shallow waters in the surrounds.
A fully protected species, the Australian Fur Seals were once almost hunted to extinction, however nowadays the opportunity to be in the water with them is as exciting as it could get for a marine wildlife experience.
As a protected species, government regulations are in place restricting how close swimmers, snorkelers and divers can approach the seals, as well as restrictions for how far away vessels must stay from the structure and the seals. Penalties apply for infringement of the regulations, which aids to keep this one of the world's most amazing experiences.
