  • White flippered penguin socialising on the rocks waiting for darkness to feel safe and head back to their burrows.

  • Two white-flippered penguin chicks ready to go out to sea.

  • 2 penguins coming back ashore, after a long day at sea.

  • Little penguins socialising, it is happy hour time ^-^

  • Yellow eyed penguins a few meters away from our hides. Taking a break before continuing their daily journey up the hills to their nest.

  • Adult and a chick seen in our nesting sites as we monitor some. This helps us keeping and eye on the colony and finding out what is happening (predators, competition, diseases...)

  • Comforting each others? Social moments are very important.

  • Variants of Little penguins seen at Pohatu.

Acerca de

After a 4WD van trip and stunning photo stops en route you will discover Pohatu Marine reserve & the largest Little Penguin colony on mainland NZ. View the penguins returning to the bay in the wild, in a natural and undisturbed way.

Learn of this self funded 30+ years conservation effort that saved the penguins from extinction from the area. Take part in our monitoring program of nesting sites giving you great insight into their lives and an opportunity to see the birds up-close.

Then with provided camouflage gear and binoculars watch them interacting on the water and slowly making their way ashore under our hides before darkness forces us to retreat.
Note that artificial lighting is not used as this is disturbing for the penguins.
