Clearwater Wildlife Tours

Clearwater Wildlife Tours

Fewer People. More Wildlife.

One of New Zealand's top wildlife experiences.

Clearwater Wildlife Tours is recognised as one of New Zealand’s highest‑rated wildlife tours, offering exclusive access to our family’s historical farm and private conservation land. This remote, rugged coastline is home to more wildlife per square metre than anywhere else in Dunedin and is one of the best places in New Zealand to see rare species in the wild.

Our tours provide the best chance in New Zealand to see yellow eyed penguins (hoiho), along with NZ sea lions, NZ fur seals, albatross, and a wide variety of coastal and wading birds, all in their natural habitat.

Small groups. Private land. Rare wildlife.

Your professionally guided tour, limited to 10 guests, takes you across our private family farm to a spectacular secluded beach and conservation reserve on the remote side of the Otago Peninsula. These areas are not accessible to the public, giving you an intimate, authentic wildlife experience found nowhere else in New Zealand.

A family legacy of conservation

The Clearwater family has deep roots on the Otago Peninsula and is dedicated to protecting and enhancing this extraordinary environment. By joining us, you help support the ongoing care of one of New Zealand’s most important habitats for endangered wildlife. Share this untamed and dramatic landscape with some of the rarest species on Earth.

Award‑winning wildlife tours

Our 4-hour Wild One Tour is consistently reviewed as one of the best wildlife tour experiences in New Zealand, not just Dunedin.
