We signed up for the day long wildlife tour and castle package and basically missed the only parts of the day I truly wanted to see. We rode out the peninsula in an older van and we did stop once to take a couple of quick photos. Our driver was kind and well informed and shared lots of info along... More

We were so pleased to take this trip, only an hour but in that time we saw several types of albatross, many young ones trying to land for the first time since leaving the nest over a year earlier. We were told that the albatross prefers flying when the weather is not too hot, we were fortunate to see so... More

Had a 5 hour package for 139 NZ dollars. Got picked up from the harbour and taken by an old minibus across the Otago peninsula, the ride was slow and you wondered whether the bus would make it. After an hour we arrived at the Penguin sanctuary and were able to see the yellow eyed variety in their own habitat.... More

I joined a full day Otago Peninsula wildlife package which included a visit to the Larnach Castle on New Year's Day during my visit to Dunedin. There was a complimentary transfer from my hotel to the tour office where the other guy for the same tour (there were only 2 of us for this tour on that day) joined us.... More

While on holiday and not going out of Dunedin my wife and I took the 1 hour trip from Wellers Rocks. It was brilliant, the wild life great to see and the staff were friendly and informative. More

Initially, I thought the $89.00 cost was somewhat expensive, but once I was aboard and on my way - albeit I was the only passenger for the first part of the journey, I began to appreciate my new surroundings. A neat little wooden [former] fishing vessel, the MV Monarch was the ideal boat to undertake this particular harbour trip. Detailed... More

We did the one hour cruise departing from Wellers Rock. The Monarch stops at various locations where wildlife is easily viewed. The crew even have binoculars for cutomers to use. While various tours of this kind have commentary by the captain, this tour was unique in that 2 crew members constantly mingled with the customers and pointed out birds they... More

We were unable to complete the whole tour as there were many steps to see the penguins, but thoroughly enjoyed the bus trip to meet the boat for the one hour wildlife tour where fur seals, albatrosses and Hector's dolphins were just some of the marine animals and birds in evidence. Our skipper provided close views from the boat, allowing... More

We went on this trip which was organized by our tour. It was a fabulous trip and we got to see some albatross, seals, penguins and dolphins. The girls on the boat were very informative and certainly new their surrounding area and the wildlife within it. The boat had teas and coffees and a toilet on board. More
