Things to Do
Dunedin’s Otago Peninsula is home to the world’s only mainland colony of Royal Albatross, accessed by guided tour to a viewing observatory.
A farm in a past life, and now a thriving sanctuary for native plants and animals, The OPERA - Otago Peninsula Eco Restoration Alliance, formerly Penguin Place, has big plans for the future under the guidance of new owners Ike and Jerad Haldan who bought the property in April 2023.
When it comes to family-fun in Ōtepoti Dunedin, look no further than Tūhura Otago Museum!
Spring is the time that Orokonui Ecosanctuary restarts Dusk Tours. Guide Taylor Davies-Colley explains: "So much of the wildlife’s behaviour is dictated by the time of day, and everything changes in te pō (night) – the wildlife, the scenery, the vibe."
