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 Centre (if birds are in our care), where they can see these rare birds up close.

- Learn about the yellow eyed penguins and the conservation efforts in the theatre area

Great experience
Highly recommend this tour especially through book me for a good discount. Super informative and plenty to see even if the yellow eyed penguins were shy. Thankyou Kate!
