★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 115 reviews · from $105

Small-group Dunedin harbor cruise to Otago Peninsula and Taiaroa Head. Live commentary, binoculars, warm jackets, 90-120 minutes.

“Absolutely brilliant trip. Rachel the skipper was so knowledgeable and kept us informed from the start and not just about the wildlife, but also about the area and history. Not an avid birdwatcher but the whole trip was fascinating and we had the added benefit of a very close visit from an albatross. Rachel provided binoculars to assist us and even baked cookies for the group. Information sheet provided afterwards to confirm what birds and seals we’d seen.. brilliant trip and host and excellent value for money”
