World Albatross Day with Heritage Expeditions

Happy 'World Albatross Day,' this day honours and raises awareness of these magnificent birds and highlights the ongoing conservation crisis they face.

It is with great privilege that we pay tribute to the Albatross. We invite you to enjoy this film highlighting some of our favourite Albatross sightings from our voyages through the Southern Ocean.

Thirteen of the planet's 23 species of Albatross breed in New Zealand, almost exclusively on the Subantarctic and Chatham Islands.* Each year, Heritage Expeditions ventures to these windswept refuges of the Southern Ocean to witness the magic of these exquisite ocean wanderers. Additionally, we see three North Pacific species annually – Laysan, Black-footed and Short-tailed Albatross – on our expeditions in the Northern Hemisphere.

Our conservation is firmly based around educating our guests through experiential learning and providing funds for research and management, and through our partner voyages with Forest & Bird and Department of Conservation.
