This rugged and wild coastline is the natural home of the Yellow Eyed Penguin, the rarest penguin in the world found only on the south east coast of New Zealand.

Experience wildlife including Albatross which has the largest wingspan of any living bird, with the average wingspan being 3.1 metres (10.2 ft), Fur Seals, Yellow Eyed Penguins, Shags, Gulls, Terns Oyster Catchers & Herons. Often seen are Dolphins, Sea Lions Blue Penguins, Shearwaters, Godwits, Royal Spoonbills, Cape Pigeons and Petrels.

Be fascinated and exhilarated with the wealth of wildlife, dramatic views, so close and so natural with this half day cruise and coach tour of Dunedin's Otago Peninsula, Otago Harbour and Taiaroa Head; the only mainland nesting place for Northern Royal Albatross in the world. The key species is the Northern Royal Albatross which has one of the largest wingspans of any bird at 3 metres. Also see New Zealand fur seals, and eight other nesting bird species. We also occasionally observe whales including Orcas.
