A Tour Designed For School Holidays

An EXPRESS version of our standard albatross experience, designed for busy school holidays.

Only available 13 – 28 April!

How heavy can a chick actually be? What do they eat? What’s the wingspan of the biggest seabird?

Discover huge Royal Albatross chicks at the world’s only mainland Royal Albatross breeding colony. Dunedin is uniquely privileged to be the only place in the whole world where you can easily see these amazing birds breed. Learn all about Lance Richdale and the incredible work he did to protect the first chick and see it safely fledge.
