It is a self-funded conservation project that provides for the birds that make it their home - the nests are provided and their habitat is maintained and restored, there is a research program and a hospital for injured or sick birds. The tour takes you to the opposite coast where you can see the penguins come into shore and learn about their strange ways. We saw yellow eyed penguins, little blues and also fur seals. The yellow eyed penguins are endangered, because their juvenile survival rate is incredibly low, and they aren't prolific breeders. Tama, our guide, was funny and entertaining and the whole trip was well worth the $52/pp cost! ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6113114/cfc53f35-18ec-41b5-959d-4c0dfc18882b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Penguin Place 4.5/5(10 reviews) Explore the great outdoors at Penguin Place, a lovely green space in Harington Point.
