Drive yourself along the beautiful & scenic roads of the Otago Peninsula to combine a tour at the Royal Albatross Centre with a wildlife cruise aboard the Monarch to see Taiaroa Head from both land and sea.
Quick Details
Royal Albatross Centre – Enjoy our 60minute Albatross Classic tour to view the world’s only mainland breeding colony of Royal Albatross – watch these magnificent seabirds at their nest from with the Pukekura (Taiaroa Head) nature reserve.
Monarch Wildlife Cruises – Enjoy a wildlife cruise aboard the Monarch, which takes you around the spectacular Taiaroa Head to see what can’t be seen from land – several speces of albatross, fur seals and other marine mammals and ocean birds.
The OPERA (formerly Penguin Place) – Come and join The OPERA for an interpretive tour of their working conservation reserve to protect the rare Yellow Eyed Penguin.
This is a self-drive tour. Itinerary will be provided once booking has been made.
Please note: October is difficult to guarantee albatross sightings as chicks depart the headland in September and new season nests are built in late October.
During tours in October, we hope to see some new season adults either on the ground, in the air or both, but there is a small chance we may not see any.
