🐋 Paikea / Humpback whale 🐋

Over the last few weeks our staff and guests have had the privilege of viewing Paikea/humpback whales off the coast as they pass by Dunedin on their northern migration to the tropical South Pacific.

Winter is a magical time of year out on the Monarch, made even more so by these beautiful whales passing by! 🩵

Southern Elephant Seals 🦭

We have been lucky enough to have seen a couple of different elephant seals chilling on our Dunedin shores this summer. Most likely having travelled far from subantarctic islands.

When these guys aren’t practising their fighting skills with sticks or kelp, you’ll find them swimming in the water or lounging on the beach around the Otago Peninsula.

⚖️They are the biggest seals in the world, weighing up to 4,000 kg!
🤿Elephant seals are known as ‘extreme divers’ and can dive down to 2000m or more, staying underwater for up to 2 hours!

These shots and vids were taken by our local guides and skippers who were lucky enough to encounter them on our tours.
