Pohatu Penguins/ Pohatu Plunge NZ

Flea Bay is a small coastal bay nestled between dramatic volcanic headlands and part of Pohatu Marine Reserve. It is home to the largest Little Penguin colony on the mainland.

Francis and Shireen Helps have protected the White-flippered Penguins at Pohatu-Flea Bay for more than two decades. Evening tours enable you to see the penguins unobtrusively. Sea Kayaking allows you to enjoy the spectacular scenery and wildlife of Pohatu Marine Reserve during the day. Scenic Nature Tours will enable you to experience a wider range of endemic wildlife amongst dreamlike landscapes.

Our 24hr Package allow you to spend a night in the middle of the penguin colony in our cosy accommodation and experience more of what makes Pohatu so special.
