The Royal Albatross Centre is nestled at the foot of Taiaroa Head, at one with its environment. Start your wildlife adventure - step into the foyer dominated by Poutokomanawa, a carved pole telling the history of the Maori people of the headland. Settle back for an introduction to the Royal Albatross narrated by Sir David Attenborough. Your guide will take you through the bird's fascinating story.

From the Centre, it's a short walk to the Observatory for the privilege of seeing the greatest of all seabirds. Wander through the McMillan Gallery and learn more of the history and wildlife of the area. Enjoy a snack or meal at the Royal Albatross Cafe and look out for a memento - you'll want to remember the day you met the Royals of Taiaroa!
