The visit is worth it and can be combined with the Royal Albatros Center and Wildlife Cruise. You will hear a short informative talk about the reserve and the yellow-eyed penguins, which are only found here in southern NZ and are threatened with extinction. We saw two in the wild on the hike to the beach, which is incredible!

There are also seals and possibly sea lions, dolphins, little blue penguins and various birds to see. In the small penguin hospital you can see two adult yellow-eyed penguins and many fluffy young animals up close
