The deep waters off southern Tasmania, reached on pelagic trips from Eaglehawk Neck and around Bruny Island, are Australia's premier albatross grounds, with shy, black-browed, wandering and royal albatrosses following the boats. The cold, food-rich Southern Ocean draws seabirds close for superb viewing. The cooler months from April to October bring the greatest albatross numbers.
