Вечерний тур к пингвинам из Акароа
Обзор
Pohatu is the largest Australasian Little Penguin colony on mainland New Zealand. The family has worked over the last three decades protecting White-flippered Penguins (Eudyptula minor albosignata), Canterbury's variant of Australasian Little Penguin, from introduced predators.
This gives you great insight into the life of a penguin and the chance to see the birds up-close, and a unique opportunity to watch them socializing on the water.
You will discover tranquil Pohatu bay where you will set off for a walk around the colony to monitor nesting sites and make sure that our little penguins are doing well. Then, you will have the unique opportunity to spot some undisturbed from our hides, socializing on the water with provided binoculars and telescope.
