Monarch Wildlife Cruises | Otago harbour | Southern Right Whales | Your Town: Dunedin

Earlier today two Southern Right Whales entered the Otago Harbour, being initially sighted just around 2.00pm by Port Otago crewmen on the New Era, not far from the Aramoana Mole.
Tourists onboard M.V Monarch were treated to the sight of the two whales, which had made their way inside the Otago Harbour around 2.30pm this afternoon.
The whales remained within the harbour for around 2 hours, getting in as far as Weller's Rock before swimming past Harrington Point, then eventually leaving bound for the open ocean about 4pm.
