Fantastic
Now this is a very informative 2.5 hrs experience. Our guide, Adrian, mixed the knowledge of history, botany,wildlife very well and on top of it, we were able to spot a Yellow eyed penguin. Great experience.

Absolutely Amazing!!
We thoroughly enjoyed this amazing tour! Our tour guide, Rosie, was fabulous and her passion for what they do at the OPERA absolutely shines through! Great walk trail, interesting facts about plants, the history of the land and of course seeing the wild life- seals, birds and penguins! It’s great what the team are doing and we are so happy we could be part of all of that for a day! Highly recommended!
