Wonderful, dropped by as part of Monarch tour and was great. Doing amazing work for the yellow eyed penguins, super special to see a new rescued chick arrive. Definitely recommend.

The Yellow-Eyed Penguin is an endangered species. Penguin Place is the world's only wildlife refuge fully funded by visitors. It is a conservation and restoration program. Injured and sick penguins are rehabilitated. In the summer season, tours run frequently each day from October to March. In the winter season, from April to September, one tour is held daily.

Spur of the moment visit, the 4.45 tour. Lucky enough to be the only ones on tour. Great guide, started with overview of these exceptional birds and what they are doing to help them survive. Visited the ‘hospital’ enclosure which provided a very close encounter with about 6 juveniles. Great photo opps!
A quick bus ride to ‘their’ beach and guided around through a series of ‘tunnels’ to various viewing spots. Managed to see 3 in the wild including 1 returning from the sea. Recommend++

We were pleasantly surprised with this experience. We saw yellow-eyed penguins up close. Enjoyed the trip a lot and hope to visit again some day. Next time we would bring better binoculars with us!

The three of us took a tour at Penguin Place recently. Friendly welcome from the front desk then a thorough briefing on conservation issues facing Yellow-eyed penguin. Then over the hill in a bus and a walk through covered trenches to view nest sites.
I enjoyed myself saw some penguins and some other wildlife. Recommended.
