Penguin Place Conservation Tour

Visit Penguin Place in Dunedin a conservation which protects the penguin population in New Zealand. Get the opportunity to see penguins up close in their natural habitat.

The penguin tour begins with a short talk outlining the issues Yellow Eyed Penguins are facing, their lifecycle and how the Penguin Place conservation project is carried out. A short bus trip over the farm takes small groups to the reserve. While in the reserve, your guide will lead you on foot through a unique system of covered trenches and into viewing hides. These hides allow access to the living areas and breeding grounds of this shy penguin, providing the opportunity to witness and photograph undisturbed activity at close range.

Enjoy your guided tour through the penguin colony for some close-up viewing of the birds. Covered trenches and observation huts will hide you so the penguins will not be frightened and you can observe them going about their daily business unperturbed by our presence.
