Otago Peninsula Ecotour  (Full day).

This, like all our ecotours, can be customised to suit individual requirements.  You can either self-drive,
or be driven by your own personal guide.

On this tour, depending on season and local conditions, we normally view a wide range of seabirds, including
the great Northern Royal and other albatross's.

We visit penguin nesting areas and see one of the world's rarest penguins (yellow-eyed penguin) plus one of the smallest (little blue penguin). 

Usually we encounter marine mammals, sometimes including dusky, and occasionally the rare Hector's, dolphins, and often are able to get close to fur seals and sea lions.

We view wildlife in both public and private conservation reserves.
