world’s only mainland nesting place of albatross. You may be lucky enough to see the
Northern Royals soaring and banking on three metre wings.

to the sandy beaches.Out at sea you can spot rarely seen ocean birds including other
albatross species and petrels, and you may see penguins, dolphins and other marine mammals.
