About Royal Albatross Centre
Welcome to the Royal Albatross Centre, located at Harington Point Road, Harington Point, in beautiful New Zealand. As an establishment, park, point of interest, and tourist attraction, we offer a range of exciting experiences for visitors of all ages.
Immerse yourself in the fascinating history of the Northern Royal Albatross and the people of Pukekura/Taiaroa Head on our 90-minute guided tour. Learn about the albatross breeding cycle, watch a short film, and take a short walk up the hill to our exclusive glassed observatory for breathtaking views of the albatross and other wildlife.
For those looking for a more private experience, book our 90-minute fully Private Unique Royal Tour with a dedicated expert albatross guide. This tour allows you to learn more about the magnificent Dunedin Royals at your own pace.
As a member of the Royal Albatross Centre, you'll enjoy a range of benefits, including a free guided tour when accompanying a full paying guest, or 40% off our Unique Taiaroa or Albatross Classic tours.
Don't miss the opportunity to view the world's only mainland breeding colony of Royal Albatross, either from our exclusive 'Royal Box' observatory or during a wildlife cruise aboard the Monarch. Combine your visit with a trip to Penguin Place for an interpretive tour on our Triple Crown Combo Tour.
Our knowledgeable albatross guides are passionate about conservation and will provide insights into the work being done to protect the Toroa/Albatross and other wildlife.
If you prefer a self-guided experience, drive along the scenic roads of the Otago Peninsula and combine a Royal Albatross Centre land tour with a Monarch Wildlife Cruise.
For history enthusiasts, we offer a guided tour of underground Fort Taiaroa, built to counter the potential threat of a Russian invasion in the late 1880s and later used for training and defense during WWI and WWII.
The Royal Albatross Centre is operated by the Otago Peninsula Trust, New Zealand's first private charitable conservation trust. A portion of every ticket sold goes towards the fostering and protection of the Northern Royal Albatross.
Spaces for tours are limited, so booking in advance is recommended.
Visit our website to watch the famous live Albatross Webcam Royalcam for a sneak peek into the lives of these majestic birds.

Reviews of Royal Albatross Centre
"Really cool experience! Loved watching the babies spread their wings! We also saw a mum come down to feed her baby which was pretty cool. Recommend doing the Fort tour too because that was super interesting! Francesca was a great guide who was super knowledgeable about everything! My top tip is to dress warm because it's super windy there!"
"I was foretuneate to be the only person on the 10:30 60 min tour on Sunday morning. The young lady was a great host, very friendly and knowledgable. The chicks in nest were easily viewable from the observation room and a delight to see. Only one adult fly past but majestic to see. The layout of the facility is excellent. The cafe is warm and comfortable. A very pleasent experience."
"The little penguin tour was great. The guides gave a brilliant introductory talk and then we were led down to the beach. We saw loads of little penguins, maybe around 50 or so in total. They were easy to see from the viewing platform. Doing the dusk tour to see the penguins was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Dunedin."
