Had a fun and amazing day in the wildlife sea. Staff are so very kind, funny, and accommodating. Would definitely recommend!
Managed to see albatross, shag, seal, blue penguin, and sea lion! Friendly staff, provided peppermint essential oil to help with slight sea sickness.
It was an excellent experience and the staff were very friendly and informative. We got to see plenty of albatrosses seals etc. A must do when you visit Dunedin
The staff and guides were so lovely and helpful! Were able to book us in for that day when I accidentally booked the wrong day, and we saw some awesome wildlife, including seal pups and a dolphin! Well worth it!
