Strongly Amway, you participate in the local tour group, and this trip only takes half a day, follow the tour guide, you can capture the most beautiful picture, but also hear a lot of explanations, quite interesting. I thought it was to accompany the children, but in the end, I actually had fun.
If you are lucky, you can see dolphins, sea lions, albatrosses. Since it is winter, I have not seen anything, but I have been shocked by the sapphire-like sea. There are also seagulls flying to the front to beg for food. Life for more than a month, the biggest feeling is that this place is a beautiful scenery!
The Royal Albatross Center is located at the top of the Otago Peninsula. It is similar to the tourist center. It has a consultation office and a restaurant, but there are no albatrosses. Albatrosses are all under the mountains and there are not many albatrosses. They rest there and do not fly. There are black swans below. On the contrary, New Zealand red-billed seagulls are mostly flying, and they are not afraid of people. The scenery there is good. You can have a look.
To enjoy the world's longest-spreading seabirds, you must visit here. There are many interesting bird souvenirs here.
