About the Activity
Expanding on the incredible opportunities of the Wildlife & Penguin Tour, this tour provides the unique opportunity to experience the reserve at sunset. The magnificent light casting over the landscape as the sun sets on the reserve is breathtaking. At points throughout the year, this time of day provides the greatest opportunity to view hoiho | Yellow-eyed Penguins in the wild as they return from a day foraging at sea, as well as opportunities to view other unique wildlife from fur seals, sea lions, shore and land birds, native fauna, and more await you within our private reserve. Best of all, by taking a tour you are joining our work, as tour operations directly fund the conservation, rehabilitation, restoration, and education initiatives at The OPERA.1 hour 30 minutes

The Otago Peninsula Eco Restoration Alliance
45 Pakihau Road, Dunedin, New Zealand, 9077Our Twilight at The OPERA tour provides a unique opportunity to experience our nature reserve at sunset. Like our penguin tours during the day, this tour offers the most exclusive opportunity in New Zealand to view the endangered, hoiho (yellow-eyed penguins), in their natural habitat.
This 90-minute guided tour consists of three parts. Our guests begin their experience in a theatre setting, where they learn about the hoiho (yellow-eyed penguin) and our conservation efforts to protect them.
Guests then move into our rehabilitation centre where hoiho (yellow-eyed penguins) and other penguin species can be seen up close (when birds are in our care). Finally, guests take a short bus trip into our reserve where they are guided on an approximately 2km (1.25 mile) nature walk with the potential to see numerous plants and animals, including yellow-eyed penguins and little penguins, fur seals, sea lions, and several species of shore and land birds, all of which reside in the reserve.1 hour 30 minutes • Admission Ticket IncludedView LocationMeeting and Pickup
