A slow, low-to-the-water pass along New Island's dramatic western cliffs and sea caves, watching for whales, dolphins and diving seabirds from the water.
What to expect
Zodiacs thread beneath towering cliffs riddled with caves and arches on the island's exposed western side, an area no shore walk reaches. Peale's dolphins sometimes ride the bow wave, and you get a seabird's-eye view of the albatross colony from below the nesting cliffs.
Good to know
Conditions-dependent; the western coast is exposed to Southern Ocean swell so this only runs in calm weather. Warm layers and waterproofs essential even in summer.
