Monarch Wildlife Cruises and Tours provide voyages of discovery amongst a unique diversity and abundance of wildlife, dramatic views and significant geological and historical features. This beautiful part of the world has picture postcard scenery, and is a wildlife watchers dream.
Passengers board the Monarch to see what cannot be seen from land, to greet the mighty Northern Royal Albatross as it sweeps in from the open Pacific Ocean and soars above the spectacular inaccessible cliffs of Taiaroa. These escarpments are alive with eight other species of birds nesting above families of Fur Seals. Close offshore, huge flocks of Sooty Shearwaters feed among other Shearwaters, Petrels and other species of Albatross.
The abundance and diversity of wildlife makes a Monarch cruise different - a truly multi-species tour on a sheltered harbour that sparkles with scenic beauty, gems of geology and a colourful heritage.

We were very happy with everything. The bus was on time to collect us from our Motel, and the driver gave us a good commentary on the way to the penguin colony.
