Super fun little wildlife cruise! We saw tons of shag species, baby black back seagulls, a bunch of albatross, seals/ sea lions, and even a brief appearance of hectors dolphins! I highly recommend this cruise for anyone wanting to see some wildlife, although I do wish this cruise was just a bit longer:) overall I think this is a good activity
Had a fantastic time on the Otago Peninsula wildlife cruise! The whole experience was really well organised and informative. The crew were friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the wildlife. We were lucky enough to see dolphins and several albatross, which was a real highlight. The boat itself is a beautiful old vessel that added to the charm of the trip. Highly recommend for anyone visiting the area and wanting a unique way to experience the local wildlife.
It was really exceptional, we saw so many albatroses, actually two species, also lots of cormorants and spoonbills. A very brief sighting of a hector dolphin by the end of the tour was a cherry on the top. The skipper, Buddy, was knowledgeable and guided really well. Highly recommend.
Wonderful hour-long wildlife cruise. Great commentary by the crew on everything we could see - spotted fur seals, 4 species of albatross, Otago Shags, giant Petrels and Hector and Dusky dolphins.
We did a small morning cruise. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. We saw sea lion, penguins, fur seals and an amazing range of birds.
Booked the 1hr tour as a last minute to-do on an otherwise empty Saturday, and im so glad i did! It was fun, informative, and the woman working at the ticket hut was so incredibly friendly and kind. My only suggestion is if you plan on taking the public 18 bus out, make sure you check the return schedule! I got stuck for a few hours after my tour, but no complaints here! I took a nap in the dunes of a nearby beach. Overall, an absolute dont miss experience at a great price
Stunning, an loved it. The knowledge of information was major to this boat ride. Excellence standards
We did a recent wildlife, penguin, sea lion and albatross tour and really enjoyed the trip and commentary. The guys assisting on deck are quick to point out things of interest & wildlife for everyone & roam the boat ensuring everyone has a good time & spots what they need to. We have our own gear as we are wildlife/ natural history travellers - but the boat provides binocs and spray jackets for those needing them. Well organised, stable boat with a smaller group size. Well done - thanks - highly recommend.
Had an amazing time and the weather was fantastic! We got to see Albatrosses, fur seals and some other NZ birds, no whales or dolphins sadly but maybe next time. The boat ride itself is an excellent opportunity to see the Dunedin Port entrance from a whole new perspective and to take some amazing photos. Our hosts were informative and certainly knew their 'stuff'. I highly recommend this cruise! I will definitely be doing this again!
