Why choose this tour ?

Join us for an invigorating wildlife cruise experience.

By the time you get back to your ship you’ll know why Dunedin is the Nature Capital of New Zealand.

The cruise will travel around beautiful wharves and boatsheds, then through the historic Quarantine Islands.

You’ll see the Careys Bay fishing village and its motley collection of boats before continuing along the harbour.

Enjoy a nice hot drink and biscuit for morning tea.

As you arrive at the entrance to the Otago Harbour you’ll see the tidal Aramoana sandflats and the spectacular volcanic cliffs of Taiaroa Head.

You’ll see the royal albatross breeding colony, the only mainland colony in the world.

Beneath a picturesque lighthouse you’ll find a large population of fur seals, watch as they swim, play and sleep on rocky platforms close to the boat.

A short way out to sea we often spot other species of albatross and seabirds.

We sometimes see dolphins, sea lions and blue penguins.

Don’t forget your camera!
