絕對超值的旅遊
當我們繞完皇家保護區後（門票太貴，老人家不進去），接著就去這個行程。 一上船，會有人為你介紹，還有中文紙張介紹附近野生種類（附照片）。 雖然是英文介紹，但說的很慢，不連音，所以連國中小姪女也聽得懂。 會給你雙孔望遠鏡，大外套，船上有廁所。 他會開到皇家保護區斷崖，讓你看還在家的小信天翁，然後再往外海開，可以看到飛翔的信天翁，海上漂的信天翁，還有很多很多其他鳥類。 也看到很多sea lion和seal躺在沙灘，和在水中游。 我覺得雖然只有一小時，但看到的野生動物，卻超過之前搭過的（例如賞鯨團卻沒看到鯨豚）

Wonderful trip
The crew were so helpful and knowledgeable. On a calm grey evening cruise we still saw heaps of wildlife. We would love to do again when more of the big birds are expected to be returning from their long flights. Wonderful trip.
From Monarch Cruises - 1 Hour Wildlife Cruise
Kia ora, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your experience! The Monarch team love taking guests out on the MV Monarch to introduce our guests to the local wildlife. Of course, being wildlife, activityt is different every day and with different conditions. We look forward to seeing you aboard again in the future - maybe on a day with a strong southerly wind! Ngā mihi, Caitlin Monarch Wildlife Cruises and Tours

A unique experience.
A very enjoyable trip to the last land based albatross colony in the world. Thanks

Great experience
Friendly and helpful staff. I have been twice and both times were different bit equally enjoyable. They work with what wildlife is there at the time, getting you as close as possible and informing you with many interesting facts.

很棒的體驗
Monarch Cruise提供防水防風的外套以及望遠鏡，在海上非常有用。 船長不只帶我們看到信天翁，而且還是近距離的，在近距離觀賞這些大鳥的體驗非常棒。而且在來到Wellers Rock的路途雖然不好開，但沿路的旦尼丁海景非常美麗。
