Join our friendly local experts aboard our classic vessel the Monarch for a truly enchanting wildlife cruise.
I would highly rate and recommend this trip. The captain was very knowledgeable and helped show us and explain the wildlife we saw
We saw albatross, fur seals, penguins and many other birds. Excellent commentary from Nigel - very informative.
Excellent evening tour with friendly and helpful staff. We were on a tour for my mums 80th birthday. The crew went the extra mile to make us feel welcome, comfortable and enjoy the trip. Wildlife was fabulous, we were lucky to see little Hector Dolphins! Thanks team! Highly recommend this tour.
Spent a great hour on relatively calm water around the headland of the Otago Peninsula. Had close views of Northern and Southern Royal Abatross, Bullers Albatross, Otago and Spotted Shag. Also saw Sea Lion, Fur Seal and Hectors Dolphins. Very enjoyable and the guys on the boat were very helpful.
