Monarch Wildlife Cruises

This site offers rich content and consistently works to enhance enthusiasm for wildlife. Use of good, clear photos and maps ensure the site is easy on the eye and that its theme is communicated effectively. There's an email form for enquiries which allows the viewer to enter credit card details. Unfortunately however, it does not utilise a secure server for transmission of these details. Whilst the graphics of the site are very effective, we wonder whether the use of some additional web technologies might further enhance the visitor's experience. Perhaps sound or animation would add another dimension to the site's wildlife theme. Never the less, this is an attractive and informative site which does as much to raise awareness of wildlife on the Otago Peninsula, as it does interest in Monarch's cruises.
