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.

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.

The wildlife in Dunedin is so diverse. Dunedin and its Otago Peninsula are often referred to as the Wildlife Capital of New Zealand, you'll soon understand why.
I was so lucky to spend a weekend with a bunch of Instagrammers over there, discovering all the wildlife. I met the tui, pukahe, seals, yellow-eyed penguin and the bullers albatros!

On the Monarch Wildlife Cruise, Dunedin | Sailing Otago Harbour and Taiaroa Head
This winter we enjoyed a half-day cruise on the Monarch, sailing out along Otago Harbour to Taiaroa Head, and back again. Though it was a bit rough out at Taiaroa, it was still well worth going. We often take drives along the peninsula, so it was awesome to see it from a different perspective. We also got a glimpse of heaps of different seabirds, as well as some kekeno (NZ fur seals).
