Royal Albatross Wildlife Experience with Optional Fort Taiaroa

Journey to the rugged tip of the Otago Peninsula to visit the world's only mainland breeding colony of Royal Albatross. This land-based wildlife experience offers an unparalleled look at the magnificent ocean giants in their completely natural habitat. Enjoy a presentation about the Northern Royals and a short film by Natural History NZ, followed by a short walk up the hill for viewing from an exclusive glassed observatory. Guests can choose a guided wildlife viewing tour to focus entirely on the fascinating biology and viewing of the massive nesting birds. Alternatively, choose the expanded option to seamlessly combine this world-class bird watching with an additional guided journey through the secret underground tunnels and hidden military defense systems of historic 1880s Fort Taiaroa
