Travel by 4WD from Akaroa to Pohatu, or Flea Bay, with guides such as Ben, Mona, Tayla, and Kevin sharing stories of wildlife and conservation. You will check nesting boxes, use binoculars, and watch for penguins returning to shore without artificial lights.

“We had a wonderful tour that started with a 30 minute drive over a mountain with two stops with incredible views. During this time we learned about Akoroa and about the natural species of New Zealamd in addition to information about the pohatu penguins. We got to feed sheep, see baby penguins in nests and spot penguins in the bay. This activity was educational and unique. Gayla and Mona were great guides.”

We got some rain during part of our trip but it was all good. We went to…”
