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 Center, where they can see these rare birds up close. .

wonderful trip to the penguins
We loved our tour with Ashley. And luckily we got to see all three species that day which was an absolute highlight. Can definitely recommend to do the tour even if you don't get to see any penguins in the wild, the nature is absolutely breathtaking!!

Très bien
C’est très intéressant de connaître tout le travail des volontaires et des soigneurs. J’ai beaucoup aimé le trajet en bus dans la réserve, la marche à pied, l’observation des seals et même un pingouin dans son abri. L’hôpital des pingouins permet d’en voir plein assez proche.
