Seeing the baby albatross on the hillside, seeing the wing span of the adult albatross, totally amazing. We loved the bobbing blue penguins in the sea and the flight of the cormorants. We found the crew on the launch to be extremely friendly and helpful.

Wildlife Tour with transport

Ann_B, Jan 2024

Really enjoyed the bus tour and boat cruise to peninsula. However the 1.5 trip back to Dunedin Harbour was rather boring although the crew did offer beverages and a savorie.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thanks for leaving a review Ann. Different parts of the tour appeal to different people, some love the relaxed cruise back to the city. All the best!

Amazing albatross

Cindy_M, Jan 2024

Lovely afternoon tour with great naturalist, Alberto, on board, who is very knowledgeable and helpful. We had lovely, albatross sightings, and even saw some little blue penguins on the way back. Limited food on board to purchase so if you’re hungry, bring something with you. Just a few candy bars, chips or sodas for sale. Warm coats and binoculars are available on board to borrow.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thanks Jan!

Educational, exciting, and awe-inspiring, family wild life adventure.

Dawn_W, Dec 2023

I've done this trip several times in all weathers, and each one is awesome inspiring. Wonderful way to observe the wild life with a touch of personal excitement 'thrown' in. A Christmas gift to my family it is a wonderful, shared, all generations, experience. What a privilege being able to experience Dunedin's wild life from both on land and on sea.

We saw dolphins and fur seals. It was a great experience and recommend it. The cruise back to the city was great

Definitely recommend.

Belinda_M, Jun 2023

Totally enjoyed the experience. I was really looked after in the way to pick up the other passengers. The tour guide was knowledgeable and the scenery beautiful.

We would do the same trip again it was certainly worth it.

Thank you Valerie. We are truly lucky to have such a range of Southern Ocean animals here in Dunedin!

Best sightseeing tour in Dunedin

Sandra_M, Mar 2021

The hectors dolphins put on a great display, have seen them before but never frolicking like that. The commentary was very informative and knowledgeable, we had a great afternoon

Response from Host, May 2021

You're not wrong about the Hectors Dolphins, it sounds like they put on quite the display. Thank you for choosing us, we are very happy you had such a great time.
