Discover the magic of the wild with The Opera Dunedin's Penguin and Wildlife Tour
Learn about the rarest penguin in the world, the hoiho (yellow-eyed penguin) and experience the best possibility to view one of these endangered birds. We will begin with an overview of the work we are doing to help save the hoiho and care for all living species at The OPERA. Guests will then be guided through our reserve which is home to numerous native plant and wildlife species including the hoiho and kororā (little penguins), fur seals, sea lions, and several species of sea and forest birds. Finally, when penguins are in our care, guests will visit our Penguin Rehabilitation Center, where they can see these rare birds up close. .

A very informative eco experience. The penguin’s welfare is at the forefront of the tour so you might not see one. But you see them in rehab.
Really knowledgeable and fun guide . Lovely to see the work they are doing and we were lucky to see some seals as well as penguins
We got a private family tour, and our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the penguins, taking us out to see them up close. The kids really enjoyed the experience!
During the visit, we didn´t see any penguins. Not worth it.
Kia Ora Joanantonit, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for us and for your feedback on your tour. Yellow-eyed penguins are a rare and endangered species and are very unpredictable when returning home, and as of that we can never guarantee their sightings, but we do make the most of any viewing opportunities. Even though on your tour you did't seen any penguins, we do hope you enjoyed your experience. Again, thank you very much for your visit and we do hope to see you again!
