Experiences in Dunedin

The ultimate tour – a 90 minute guided tour combining the Albatross Classic with the Fort Taiaroa to include the human history of Pukekura / Taiaroa Head.

A 60 minute fully guided tour; short film, presentation on the albatross breeding cycle, short walk up the hill for viewing from our exclusive glassed observatory to view the albatross and any other wildlife.

A guided tour of underground Fort Taiaroa, built on the headland to counter the potential threat of a Russian invasion in the late 1880s and later used for training and defence during WWI and WWII.

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.

A Triple Combo – see the world’s only mainland colony of Royal Albatross on a guided tour at the Albatross Centre, then join a wildlife cruise aboard the Monarch, and finish at The OPERA (formerly Penguin Place) with a guided tour to see the rare Yellow-Eyed Penguin.
