Fewer People - More Wildlife!

The Clearwater Family's Farm is home to more wildlife per square meter than anywhere in Dunedin.

The intimate small group tours offer the chance to see Yellow-eyed penguins, NZ sea lions, NZ fur seals, albatross plus a wide variety of birdlife, in the wild.

Your professionally guided tour of no more than 10 people will take you to the private beach & wildlife reserves through our working farm at Cape Saunders on the Otago Peninsula.

A wild and untamed, dramatic environment that we are lucky enough to share with some of New Zealand's rarest species.

The aim is to give you a truly authentic wildlife experience and leave you with memories that will last for a lifetime.
