Albatross Feeding Frenzy

Albatross Encounter with Ocean Wings, is a well established pelagic boat tour operating from the picturesque coastal town of Kaikoura. Situated on the East Coast, two hours north of Christchurch, it is a region of rich heritage and natural beauty. Kaikoura’s strength is the diversity of marine mammals and bird-life so accessible to its shores – a truly unique area to New Zealand.

The Albatross Encounter operates boat cruises to the pelagics all year round and allows visitors the opportunity to see a magnificent array of ocean going birds at very close range. There are many species to impress the birdwatcher and nature lover, from albatross, mollymawks, petrels and shearwaters to name a few. This tour is arguably the best short pelagic tour in the world – plan enough time in your itinerary to experience this special tour.
