-- About this video --
Today is our first day in Dunedin and the first Dunedin activity on our Dunedin itinerary is to join Elm Wildlife Tours. This is one of the best chances to see penguins, sea lions, penguins and native birds in their natural environments on the Otago Peninsula!
Elm Wildlife Tours picks us straight up from our Dunedin accommodation and takes us to the Otago Peninsula. This is where the wildlife happens. The wildlife on the Otago Peninsula consists of royal albatross, sea lions, seals, penguins and so much more.
As we make our way to the Taiaroa Head where the Royal Albatross Centre is we stop in a few secluded inlets to check out the wading birds of the Otago Peninsula.
After seeing albatross, we head to private conservation land that is only accessible with Elm Wildlife Tours. Here we have a super close encounter with New Zealand sea lions, yellow-eyed penguins and their chicks!
Next up, we get a viewing of a New Zealand fur seal colony much better than any that we’ve seen before.
If you’re looking for wildlife experiences in New Zealand then Elm Wildlife Tours has to be considered as a land-based tour with so much New Zealand wildlife to see! It’s has been one of the best wildlife tours in New Zealand that we’ve done. If you are wandering where to see penguins in New Zealand or where to see sea lions in New Zealand, then these are your best chances.

New Zealand fur seals and pups, Otago Peninsula, NZ, 12 Mar 2012
New Zealand fur seals and pups at Natures Wonders Naturally on the Otago Peninsula near Port Chalmers, New Zealand. This was one of our excursions on our Discover New Zealand cruise with Princess Cruise lines. Visitors get out to the breeding area in Argos, an 8 wheeled vehicle similar to an ATV.
Natures Wonders adding nautical tourism venture
Family-owned tourism business Natures Wonders is about to add another string to its bow.
The business was listed internationally for sale for a number of months, however director Perry Reid says the family has decided to keep the business.
And, it's creating at least seven new jobs.
Natures Wonders Argo All Terrain Vehicle Ride
The moon buggy like, American built Argo 6 seater ATV vehicles can go up and down impossibly steep, rough and muddy tracks. In addition to this it is amphibious. At Natures Wonders visitor attraction, Tairoa head, Otago Peninsula, they are used for a one hour tour to see views of the peninsula, visit a fur seal colony and Penguin Beach (thought we didn't see any penguins on this trip). The ride in one is definitely as much an attraction as the visitations!
