Penguin Place conservation reserve
Helping the Endangered Yellow Eyed Penguin Penguin Place is a private conservation reserve, dedicated to helping the endangered Yellow Eyed Penguin. We offer you the opportunity to visit a working conservation programme which is set on a family sheep farm, you will experience natural activity at close range through a unique system of covered trenches and viewing hides. We access the breeding grounds and living areas to get an insight and intimate understanding on what makes Yellow Eyed Penguins so unique, your experienced and knowledgeable guide will share with you personal stories on these non migratory penguins and explain about their struggle for survival and how our project is giving them a real chance. This project is fully funded by the guided tours, funding provides habitat restoration, predator control, our own research programme and on-site rehabilitation care for the sick, starving and injured. It is our hope that through this work, the future of this rare and wonderful bird will be assured. Guided tours are 90 minutes in duration and run 365 days of the year.
