Itinéraire
Notre circuit Wildlife & Penguin offre la possibilité la plus exclusive en Nouvelle-Zélande d'observer les manchots aux yeux jaunes (hoiho), espèce menacée, dans leur habitat naturel. Cette visite guidée de 90 minutes comprend trois parties. Nos hôtes commencent leur expérience dans un théâtre, où ils découvrent le manchot aux yeux jaunes et nos efforts de conservation pour les protéger. Les clients se déplacent ensuite dans notre centre de réadaptation (lorsque des pingouins sont présents) où les pingouins aux yeux jaunes et d'autres espèces de pingouins peuvent être vus de près. Enfin, les clients prennent un court voyage en autobus dans notre réserve où ils sont guidés dans une promenade d'environ 2 km (1,25 mille) dans la nature avec le potentiel de voir de nombreuses plantes et animaux, y compris les manchots aux yeux jaunes et les petits manchots, les otaries à fourrure, les otaries et plusieurs espèces d'oiseaux terrestres et de rivage, qui résident tous dans la réserve.

Booked as part of triple combo ticket direct, including Royal Albatros Centre and Wildlife Cruise. It's an interesting place to visit with the opportunity to see yellow eyed penguins in the wild and the rehab centre. Don't expect to see dozens (like the little blues) - these are a critically endangered species but we saw them up close in the rehab centre. First there's a video and talk on the penguins, then a great wildlife and nature walk as well, out on the peninsula to the beach just before dusk where the penguins come ashore. Sadly they didn't appear on the beach for us but this is wildlife not Disney - it doesn't turn up to appointment and put on a parade! We got up close to fur seals and saw lots of bird life on the walk, and the penguins in the rehab centre where you are far closer than you'd normally get were amazing. Would recommend and it's a great way to support the conservation of this endangered species.
Managed to see just 1 penguin and few fur seals.. may be going tot he beach sometime in the evening or morning will give better chances of seeing more!! But the tour help us know how the penguins conservation works and how they help them breed. We did see 3 yellow eyes penguin in their rescue center.
Great outdoor experience to get close to fur seals, and penguins. The guides are very knowledgeable.
A fantastic experience with an informative guide who was very knowledgeable about penguins and other animals on display. The overall experience was very informative and enjoyable.
Wonderful experience and guide engaging and knowledgeable.
We had an excellent guide that understood the issues facing local wildlife but was not a preacher. This was a bus ride/hiking tour of about 90 minutes. We saw seals just sleeping everywhere on the bluffs. We were able to see a couple Blue penguins in their boxes. But that is only true because you could see his or her back blocking the view inside the box compared to the empty boxes we could see inside. We were able to see inside the rehab area where the yellow-eyed penguins were healing. They were up and walking around giving us good photos. They limit the tour size and they book up. So call ahead.
We were briefly introduced to wildlife on the peninsula and then rode in a minibus near the beach. The ride went over a private farm and was exciting. We got a very good pair of binoculars before the walk and walked a few hundred meters with them. The guide gave interesting information. We saw birds, seals and sea lions. No penguins, unfortunately. We then saw the penguins in the sanctuary, where they are cared for and spruced up for up to 3 weeks before being released back into nature. Great how it's done there.
I was so excited to go on this tour. We were lucky that the penguins were molting so we got to see them outside.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!! The staff is sooooo knowledgeable and so happy to welcome you into this incredible world!!!!
Excellent tour - saw sea lions, penguins both nesting and rescued from injury. Beautiful location and dedicated team. Recommended!
