  We booked a Monarch cruise from Weller’s Rock during the Wild Dunedin festival. The commentary throughout from Buddy the captain was outstanding - very informative with humour added in. It was a beautiful calm April morning, no albatross flying due to light winds, however we saw several albatross chicks on Tairoa Head, plus fur seals, terns, cormorants and petrels. A highly recommended cruise.

  This trip was one of the highlights of an extended New Zealand holiday, booked as part of a Triple Combo with the Albatross Centre and The OPERA - I got off the boat exhilarated! Credit must first of all go to the Captain who started the fun by welcoming us by name (we were the last arrivals!). I was sat right at the stern, one of the few places still left as we were last, in what seemed a most unpromising position but turned out to be brilliant. The Captain gave the commentary which I could hear clearly, contained some dry humour but was also VERY informative. The other aspect I really appreciated was the way he manoeuvred the boat to ensure all on board were able to share the same experiences. We didn't see any penguins (nor did we really expect to), nor did any dolphins or whales come to join us. However, the range of sea birds was terrific with three types of albatross, petrels, shearwaters and even terns, along with more familiar gulls and shags. Many of the albatrosses were floating on the water and weren't troubled by the boat going close so a good photo was possible with a phone camera. We were fortunate our trip was in lovely weather with quite calm waters and there was a lot of bird activity. We can see how it could not always be like this but these factors are outside the control of the operator.

  

  

  

  

• Ask best time of day to view before booking

  We took the 1 hour 1:30 wildlife boat tour. Boat was clean and right on time. A restroom on board was nice to know about. The brightness of the sunny day made some land sightings difficult b/c of glare. We saw a few Albatross flying, a small band of bottle nose dolphins for just a minute, a couple seals on the rocks, and if you looked at the perfect spot at the perfect time a blue penguin on the water. The only deal was we saw all those except the dolphins during the same day on hikes. We had a full boat but there was room to move around. The staff was pleasant, helpful with viewing, and they had binoculars & heavy jackets for any that wanted to use them. The open waters out of the cove was very rough at times. Very rough. We, thankfully, had no sea sick people problems.

  Great time! Captain was funny and informative, we had the best Royal Albatross viewing, feeding chicks, soaring over lighthouse, taking off from the water. Lucky day, weather was great. Seals, shags were in evidence, but this day no dolphins or penguins.

• For wildlife lovers with sea legs

  If you’re someone who typically gets sea sick I would definitely sit this one out, the waves were unbelievably choppy but my partner and I were loving it. We were so impressed by the skill of the captain, we felt so safe on the boat. The tour is great and we loved getting to see the albatross up close. Would definitely recommend for any wildlife lovers who have their sea legs.

  Good thing: The service is well-equipped, the sea is windy and free wind jackets will be provided. Things to note: There are only a few limited parking spaces around the assembly area, probably 5-6. Fortunately: we saw not only the albatross, but also two little blue penguins fishing on the surface. Advice to the operator: I hope to have free hot water on board.

  Another amazing boat trip. This is my 4th trip taking friends who visit our city. Saw so many albatross flying, seals on the shore and a bird and fish feeding frenzy at sea. The crew are very good and make sure everyone has a great trip, learning heaps from our area. Looking forward to my next one in a few weeks.
