Entering Exotic Enderby Island

After a relatively smooth transit from the Snares Islands, we woke to calm seas as Heritage Adventurer made her approach towards Sandy Bay on Enderby Island in the Auckland Islands. Despite the cloudy weather we could still see the impressive volcanic cliffs surrounding Sandy Bay.

The weather, however, would not put a stop to an exciting and active day that awaited us as guests participated in their activity of choice including a 12-kilometre hike around the island, traversing across the island's on the board walk through fields of megaherbs with plenty of time to enjoy the amazing wildlife dominated by Hooker's/New Zealand Sea Lions, or a Zodiac cruise around Port Ross followed by ample time on Enderby Island to enjoy the impressive wildlife that included Yellow-eyed Penguin/HoiHo.
