Hop aboard our sturdy vessel for a one hour Wildlife Cruise, departing from Wellers Rock Wharf on the Otago Peninsula.
You'll travel out through the Otago Harbour to the world's only mainland colony of royal albatross. Have your camera ready as these huge birds soar in from sea, flying past a historic lighthouse as they return to their hillside nests. The skipper will expertly maneuver the boat close to rocky outcrops for great views of the local fur seal population. A short way out to sea and you'll see other albatross and seabird species. Our cruises also frequently spot blue penguins, sea lions and occasionally dolphins!
The crew will provide a full commentary during your cruise about the local history, scenery and wildlife spotted along the way.
Don't be put off by cool & windy weather. These are often the best conditions for wildlife viewing. Especially when it comes to albatross, they love a brisk southerly wind. Binoculars and warm jackets are provided during your cruise.

It was a very informative and fun activity and we saw Albertross so that made our day. Don't forget sunscreen is my advice.

We'd booked the one hour cruise with Monarch, but we're staying right opposite the office on Dunedin Harbour. Fiona in the office was brilliant and allowed us to amend our trip. This provided a minibus to Wellers Rock with Ross - who was a superb guide - and a trip back on the boat to Dunedin. SUPERB! The commentary and the pies were utterly brilliant. Can't thank you enough for a really special experience.
