A tour of the iconic Otago Harbour with its abundant wildlife, history and beautiful scenery

Highlights

  • Experience the beautiful Dunedin harbour by boat
  • View spectacular scenery and get up close to local wildlife

Join our group tour of Otago Harbour on our latest vessel, "Adagio" Fast, safe, and comfortable, you will see more of our beautiful harbour with its extensive history and abundant wildlife.

Your skipper and guide will give you a commentary along the way, pointing out places of interest and facts about the wildlife you will encounter.

The main attraction, of course, is the albatross colony at Taiaroa Head at the entrance to the harbour. Watch as these magnificent birds glide along the cliff faces and swoop down along the waves, sometimes beside the boat. An experience not to be missed.
