Visit the world's only mainland colony of Royal Albatross at the tip of the Otago Peninsula in Dunedin, New Zealand! Small guided tours to a glassed observatory allow us to view some of the nesting albatross without making them aware of our presence - spaces are limited so be sure to book ahead! To protect the albatross from human disturbance, the headland is not publicly accessible. Chicks take eight months to grow giving us ample opportunities to see them across most of the year. We also have the chance to see adults in flight showing off their three metre wingspans as they glide around the headland. The centre is free to enter and offers informational galleries, a giftshop, a cafe. and bathrooms for anyone to make use of.
