Itinerario
Il nostro tour Wildlife & Penguin offre l'opportunità più esclusiva in Nuova Zelanda per vedere i pinguini dagli occhi gialli (hoiho), in via di estinzione, nel loro habitat naturale. Questa visita guidata di 90 minuti si compone di tre parti. I nostri ospiti iniziano la loro esperienza in un ambiente teatrale, dove imparano a conoscere il pinguino dagli occhi gialli e i nostri sforzi di conservazione per proteggerli. Gli ospiti si spostano poi nel nostro centro di riabilitazione (quando sono presenti pinguini) dove i pinguini dagli occhi gialli e altre specie di pinguini possono essere visti da vicino. Infine, gli ospiti fanno un breve viaggio in autobus nella nostra riserva dove vengono guidati in una passeggiata naturalistica di circa 2 km con il potenziale di vedere numerose piante e animali, tra cui pinguini dagli occhi gialli e pinguini, foche da pelliccia, leoni marini e diverse specie di uccelli costieri e terrestri, tutti residenti nella riserva.

Save your time and money. You’ll barely see any penguins (we were lucky to see one albeit from far away). They will also exaggerate by telling you its a long walk, it was barely 1km. Not worth the time.
Connor and emma were our tour guides - fun tour, informative and we got to see blue eyed penguin, baby penguins, crown nested penguins, nz seals, and walk ard and see yellow eyed penguin (the OG penguin). Tour and then rehab area was for 1.5hrs, good cause of restoration and tour to support wildlife and get to see some penguin
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.
