The cruise travels out of Otago Harbour toward the volcanic cliffs that are home to the world's only mainland nesting colony of royal albatross. Passengers will see these large birds with wingspans of up to three metres soaring over the sea. The boat approaches the rocky shore beneath a historic lighthouse perched on the cliffs, providing close views of fur seals playing in the water. The cruise continues a short distance out to sea to search for other seabirds, including additional albatross species. On some trips, sightings of little blue penguins, sea lions, and occasionally dolphins are possible. The local crew offers live commentary throughout the one-hour trip, covering the area's history, volcanic landscape, and wildlife. Warm waterproof jackets and high-quality binoculars are provided for passenger use, along with complimentary onboard Wi-Fi. Food and drinks are not included, but snacks can be purchased onboard.
