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.

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.

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.
