Highlights

Join our group tour of Otago Harbour on our sightseeing vessel, "Adagio" Fast, safe, and comfortable, you will see more of our beautiful harbor with its extensive history and abundant wildlife.


Look out for NZ Fur seals, sea lions, little blue penguins, shags and many other species of seabirds.


Your skipper and guide will give you a commentary along the way, pointing out places of interest and facts about the wildlife you will encounter.


The main attraction, of course, is the albatross colony at Taiaroa Head at the entrance to the harbor. Watch as these magnificent birds glide along the cliff faces and swoop down along the waves, sometimes beside the boat. An experience not to be missed.
