Otago Peninsula Wildlife Tour

Description: Departing from the city we promptly head for the beautiful Otago Peninsula. Taking in views along the high road, learn about Dunedin's pioneers and early European settlers who arrived in the 1840's. Winding our way down to the bays and inlets of the Otago Peninsula we will be keeping a close eye out for any wildlife spotted along the way. If the wind is strong enough we will head to Taiaroa Head where we have the chance to spot Royal Albatross. With a 3. 2m wingspan these birds are impressive to view in-flight! Finally, viewing Yellow-eyed Penguins - the world's most endangered penguin living right here in beautiful Aotearoa, NZ. We visit a private conservation reserve to learn about the struggles the penguins face, what is being done to help them and we have the chance to see these wonderful creatures in their natural habitat during breeding season (please message us first for up-to-date information about viewing expectations as the penguins are having a very difficult time currently).
