Encounter unique southern ocean wildlife

Explore Dunedin like a local and have a close encounter with unique southern ocean wildlife. Enjoy the views as you are driven along the scenic roads from Dunedin to the Otago Peninsula. Visit the Penguin Conservation Reserve for a guided tour. This is home to yellow-eyed penguins, that can only be found in this region.

The protection and survival of these special species are at the forefront of this organisation. A contribution for each guest is donated towards the conservation. Jump on board the wildlife cruise and learn about the wildlife, history and geology as you cruise along the rugged coastline. Witness the nesting place of Royal Albatross.

Look out for the New Zealand fur seals fighting, playing and breeding on the rocks. New Zealand sea lions are often seen returning to the sandy beaches. If you are lucky, you may even see dolphins, penguins and whales cruising through the water.
