Birds are friends and even relatives for New Zealanders. There are rescue stations for rare birds everywhere. From the national bird kiwi bird to other birds, they are loved here.
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!
To enjoy the world's longest-spreading seabirds, you must visit here. There are many interesting bird souvenirs here.
The Royal Albatross Center is located at the tip of the Otago Peninsula. It is a place similar to the visitor center. There is an advisory office and a restaurant, but there is no albatross. The albatross are all under the mountain and there are not many. They are all resting there and not flying. There are black swans below. Instead, New Zealand's red-billed seagulls fly all over the sky, and they are not afraid of people. The scenery there is not bad, you can take a look.
This is a privately operated albatross conservation and visit site. Located on the edge of a promontory east of Daniden, 40 minutes drive from the city, but it is a winding mountain road, be careful to slow down. Albatrosses are the largest island species on the planet. It is said that the number is not much now. New Zealand is one of the largest habitats for albatrosses. Visiting tickets are 50 New Zealand adults, there is an explanation, first watch the video and then go to a glass room on the top of the mountain to see the birds, the whole process is about 1 hour.
