The OPERA (Otago Peninsula Eco Restoration Alliance)

On New Zealand’s South Island, a short drive from Dunedin, The OPERA (Otago Peninsula Eco Restoration Alliance), formerly known as Penguin Place, stands as a dedicated conservation reserve for the endangered Yellow-Eyed Penguin. This reserve is entirely funded through guided tours, making each visit a direct contribution to the penguins’ preservation. As you explore, you can observe these unique birds in their natural habitat, set against the backdrop of the picturesque Otago Harbour. The experience offers both a chance to support wildlife conservation and to enjoy the serene beauty of the coastal landscape.
