-- About this video --

 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!
