Monarch Wildlife Cruises & Tours
I joined the first morning cruise on 11th December when we saw plenty of interesting wildlife, including nesting albatross, but none in flight.
For this reason, a free repeat cruise was offered which I took at 3:15 p.m. What a treat! Another dream came true, when the Skipper spotted a fishing trawler surrounded by pelagic birds. There, at last, I saw my first Buller's Mollymawk. Many thanks for adding to such a fantastic tour of New Zealand. Wendy, USA

Bushy Point Fernbirds Homestay
The very comfortable two-night stay at Bushy Point gave me the relaxation and birding opportunities that I needed.
What a joy it was to have so many glimpses of Fernbirds as well as other local species. Jenny's guided walk was a wonderful way to learn more about some of the native vegetation. Many thanks to both Jenny and Ian.

Okarito Kiwi Tours
On the night of 25th November, my dream came true!
I had always wanted to see a wild kiwi during my six week birding visit to New Zealand and Ian's expertise made that possible. It was a wonderful evening which was so well planned, as well as being interesting. It was fantastic to see BZ and I do hope that he locates a mate soon. Many thanks, Ian, for showing so much enthusiasm and giving the group such fascinating information. Wendy, USA
Thanks Wendy for your review - I hope your World Wide Travels are going great ? We have plans to catch a female in Feb and try and integrate into BZ's territory.

Albatross Encounter Kaikoura
This pelagic birding trip surpassed all expectations with really great views of so many species of albatross and mollymawks, petrels, shearwaters, etc.
The memories of all those sightings will remain with me for a long time and the opportunities for photography were extraordinary. Many thanks for such a wonderful experience. Wendy, USA
