Absolutely amazing

What an incredible experience! We got to learn how to be expert penguin spies and hide in the trenches with the reward of seeing 2 fabulous yellow eyes penguins! A big bonus was the sweet little blue penguins in many of the houses build along the trail, and the seals enjoying the cove. It was a beautiful reserve and you could tell everyone there cared deeply for it. I’ll definitely be back when time allows!

10 mins in the hide

Good to see the conservation work but paid for a tour rather than a donation. Would appreciate much more time in the hide/shelter to see the yellow eyed penguins. Felt like a rip-off as seals and fantails can be seen commonly in their natural habitats. Same with little blue penguins in boxes/colonies.

Kia Ora Priyadarshini, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for us and for your feedback on your tour. On occasion we may spend a short period of time in our hides to increase our chances at other areas of our reserve to view the Yellow-eyed penguins coming ashore, as well as viewing other wildlife. Yellow-eyed penguins are a rare and endangered specie and are very unpredictable when returning home. Again, thank you very much for your visit and we hope to see you again!

I haven´t seen any penguin

During the visit, we didn´t see any penguins. Not worth it.

Kia Ora Joanantonit, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for us and for your feedback on your tour. Yellow-eyed penguins are a rare and endangered species and are very unpredictable when returning home, and as of that we can never guarantee their sightings, but we do make the most of any viewing opportunities. Even though on your tour you did't seen any penguins, we do hope you enjoyed your experience. Again, thank you very much for your visit and we do hope to see you again!
