Baby albatross - It was a lot of activity for one day. Teresa showed us all the fun highlights - local grocery and steepest road and stopped at all the beautiful view points along the way. The albatross chicks were fuzzy- sitting on their nests waiting for the adult birds to bring them food.

Go See the Albatross - If you are lucky enough to get Theresa for your guide get ready for a great day. Her energy and knowledge add so much to the tour. We had a bad weather day and she was able to adapt the schedule so we got everything in at the best possible time. She loves her home and loves to share it. She manages the group well so no time is wasted. The albatross center was a highlight for sure as they were very active on our cool day. Several chicks were still on the nests. The group size was perfect, the University is beautiful and the glimpse of rural New Zealand was very interesting.

Great day in Dunedin - Fantastic day! Had a great tour guide (Therese), we saw so much of Dunedin and she gave us lots of information. I walked the world’s steepest street, and loved the botanic gardens. The albatross visit was the highlight. Highly recommend.

Marvellous!!! - I wouldn't have missed this visit for the world! The walk up the hill even on a cold, wet, windy day was totally worth it. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The cafe was relatively good value.

Great city & Otago peninsula (with albatross centre) tour - We were very pleased with our recent Dunedin City and Otago Peninsula plus Albatross Centre tour that we had with driver/guide Warren. Warren is a font of Dunedin / NZ knowledge and gave us a lot of information. The minibus/van was clean and Warren was a safe driver. We covered a lot of ground and enjoyed the whole day. Thanks Fantail!

Dunedin City Highlights and more - Dunedin is a beautiful city! Teresa was our guide, she made sure that we had the best scenery stops. Teresa is very knowledgeable, attentive, informative and professional. We stopped at a local grocery store to get takeouts and enjoyed lunch on a beach with beautiful view. Trip to visit Royal Albatross Center was unforgettable and informative one. I would take excursions offer by this travel agency again.
