The Royal Albatross Centre is at Taiaroa Head, on the tip of the Otago Peninsula. It is the only mainland breeding colony for any albatross species found in the southern hemisphere.
The first Taiaroa-reared albatross chick flew in 1938 and this now protected nature reserve has grown into an established colony with a population of around 140 birds.
The sight of a soaring albatross is unforgettable - held aloft on slim wings up to 3 metres (9'6") across, the great Albatross is capable of swooping speeds of more than 115kph. Viewing these majestic seabirds in their natural environment is not to be missed.
Guided tour includes spectacular Albatross viewing from the Richdale Observatory, the introductory "Attenborough" video and albatross breeding cycle information.
