Great service to wildlife
Very interesting tour and a good insight into the challenges facing the yellow-eyed penguins

Definitely worth it - amazing experience!
Amazing experience to see the OPERA reserve and learn about the wildlife they are supporting. Of course you can’t guarantee to see wildlife but our guide was excellent and so knowledgable. We were so lucky to see two yellow eyed penguins as well as fur seals and a petrel! The best part is that by joining the tour you are supporting the work taking place - I would recommend this to anyone.

Excellent chance to see hoiho in the wild!
My partner and I did the twilight tour in spring and did not leave disappointed. Our guide Connor was extremely knowledgeable, presented the information at the perfect pace and answered our questions patiently. The experience itself on the property of The OPERA was outstanding, with a chance to learn about the land over the centuries, before setting foot on one of the trails and watching the wildlife do its thing. Getting to watch a hoiho yellow-eyed penguin land on the rocks, gather some bits for its nest and chase a pūkeko off was the perfect finale to our experience. Highly recommend this experience!
