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.

It’s our third day in Dunedin city and today we are getting out on the water with Monarch Wildlife Cruises in Dunedin. We’re going to be boarding the vintage M.V. Monarch and first hitting the waters of the Dunedin Harbour and following alongside the Otago Peninsula. Dunedin and the Otago Peninsula are a hotspot for wildlife in New Zealand so this is one of the best places for a wildlife cruise in New Zealand.
We learn about the history and harbour wildlife as we cruise through the Dunedin Harbour, as we get to the end of the harbour we start to see more wildlife activity with sea lions, and Otago shag colony, a seal colony on Taiaroa Head. As we get further away from the coast, we start to see more seabirds that you would only usually get to see near the subantarctic islands, like albatross and cape petrels.
Monarch Wildlife Cruises has been another great wildlife experience in New Zealand and wildlife experience in Dunedin. If you want to see the wildlife of the Otago Peninsula then Monarch is an awesome options for a New Zealand wildlife encounter!
So what do you think of Monarch Wildlife Cruises and Tours? Would you add this to your New Zealand itinerary? LUK in the comments.

This late afternoon, we are making our way to Dunedin’s wildlife hot spot, the Otago Peninsula. This time, we’re checking out the Royal Albatross Centre for a New Zealand wildlife experience with royal albatross and little blue penguins in Dunedin.
First, we take the Royal Albatross Centre tour where we get exclusive access to the royal albatross viewing hides where we can see royal albatross in their natural environment without disturbing them. We can’t believe how close we are getting to the albatross. It’s a unique wildlife experience in New Zealand!
We also tour the military battery of Taiaroa Head, before going to the Royal Albatross Cafe and waiting for our second tour at the Royal Albatross Centre, seeing little blue penguins on the Otago Peninsula.
When night falls, this is the best time to see the little blue penguins return in rafts back to their nests on Pilot Beach just below the Royal Albatross Centre. It’s one of the best places to watch little blue penguins in New Zealand.
So what do you think of the Royal Albatross Centre tours? Would you add them to your Dunedin travel itinerary? LUK in the comments.

DUNEDIN Vacation Travel Guide: Wildlife l New Zealand Cruise Vlog l Ep. 9
After doing some research before leaving on this cruise, I discovered that there is a possibility to see penguins while visiting Dunedin. So, I booked this tour through Norwegian Cruise Line though most cruise lines offer this exact tour. The tour is called:
NATURE’S WONDERS WILDLIFE SAFARI and here is the description from NCL's website:
“A scenic drive takes you past the charming towns of Sawyer's Bay, Roseneath and St. Leonard's, which all rest along the shores of beautiful Otago Harbor. Your drive then continues along the craggy coastline to Natures Wonders, located just beyond Taiaroa Head.
Arriving at the Center's Reception area, you'll board an 8-wheel drive vehicle (Argo), built specifically to take you places that are normally inaccessible, or a mini coach, to start your tour of the farm. You will swap vehicles half way through the tour.
The Otago Peninsula headland is arguably the most precious wildlife habitat in New Zealand and the farm owned by the Reid family is right on the forefront of this headland. Here, amidst truly spectacular scenery, the world's rarest penguins, the yellow-eyed Hoiho, the little blue penguins, the New Zealand fur seals, and the Spotted Shags all live in harmony.
Stop by the mythical Maui's Footprint location which offers breathtaking panoramic views over the Otago Peninsula. Descending from a height of 620 feet above sea level, you’ll stop at a breeding colony of Cormorants, also Spotted Shag, found nestled on a rugged cliff face that rises directly above the crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean.
You’ll find a breeding colony of New Zealand Fur seals. It's a definite treat to watch them in their natural habitat, basking on the rocks and swimming in the pools. A beachfront ride will then bring you to Penguin Beach, where you'll be able to view little blue penguins in their nests, and if you are lucky, perhaps spot some very rare and shy yellow-eyed penguins.
Your route also ascends from the beach to the highest point on the farm. At 659 feet above sea level, this spot affords an absolutely amazing 360-degree view of this awesome peninsula and its remarkable natural setting.
Back in Dunedin, you’ll have a brief tour of some of the city's highlights before returning to the pier.”
As always, make sure to watch in HD for the best video quality! Hope you enjoy! :)
