Ecosantuario di Orokonui

3 hours

Con la conservazione al centro della sua missione, l'Ecosantuario di Orokonui rappresenta una delle iniziative di ripristino della biodiversità più ambiziose e di maggior successo di Aotearoa (Nuova Zelanda). Immerso in 307 ettari di rara e straordinaria foresta nuvolosa di Otago, il santuario è circondato da una recinzione anti-predatori all'avanguardia, lunga 9 chilometri — creando un rifugio in cui le specie native minacciate possono prosperare e riprodursi in un paesaggio libero da predatori introdotti, proprio come accadrebbe in natura. Il Tour Esplorativo nella Foresta di Orokonui offre ai visitatori un percorso immersivo attraverso una variegata sezione di ecosistemi, dalle praterie aperte alla macchia in rigenerazione fino all'antica foresta intatta. Lungo il tragitto potrete incontrare una serie di specie iconiche e in pericolo, tra cui kākā, takahe, tui, korimako (uccello-campana), kākāriki, toutouwai (pettirosso dell'Isola del Sud), tuatara, geco gioiello e l'elusivo scinco dell'Otago. Le nostre guide esperte racconteranno l'avvincente storia della visione di Orokonui, il suo ruolo nel ripristino degli habitat nativi e i successi della conservazione che continuano a svilupparsi. Ogni tour offre opportunità per osservare e approfondire la conoscenza dei taonga (specie preziose) che stiamo proteggendo. In quanto organizzazione senza scopo di lucro, ogni visita a Orokonui sostiene direttamente i nostri sforzi di conservazione in corso, contribuendo a garantire la sopravvivenza a lungo termine del patrimonio naturale unico di Aotearoa (Nuova Zelanda).

Whale Watching

2 hours

As a Maori-owned company, Whale Watch Kaikoura cherishes the twin values of hospitality (manakitanga) to visitors and reverence (whakaute) for the natural world. It is a philosophy that embraces people, the land, the sea and all living things as one (Ki Uta Ki Tai) from the mountains to sea and everything in between. The company is indispensable to the development of the town as a sustainable tourism destination, and continually provides sponsorship to local schools, community groups and sports clubs, as well as contributing to marine mammal research in the area. Designed especially for whale watching, your catamaran is equipped with engines that minimize underwater noise and non-polluting restrooms. The main passenger cabin is enclosed and the outside decks offer great viewing and photo opportunities. Watch the large plasma screens displaying an award-winning marine wildlife animation that reveals Kaikoura's hidden wildlife wonders. Discover how a sperm whale survives in the dark and very cold depths of the Kaikoura Trench, and why the green-eyed Plunket shark is easy prey for a giant squid. Whale Watch is New Zealand's only marine-based whale-watching g company offering the possibility of an exciting up-close encounter with the world's largest toothed predator -- the giant sperm whale -- in its natural environment. Every outing is different, and the sightings vary. Sperm whales – if you are lucky enough to see one – are the stars of the show. These are year-round residents. A typical whale watch outing may include an encounter with New Zealand fur seals, pods of dusky dolphins, and the endangered wandering albatross. Depending on the season you may also see migrating humpback whales, pilot whales, blue whales and southern right whales. Notes: Wildlife sightings are likely but are not guarantee

The locals say that Fyffe House sits in the landscape of their ancestor’s stories; it will be hard for you to imagine this was a place where survival was the first thing on people’s minds. The stories of settlement and survival begin with the first people, ancestors of today’s Maori tribe Ngati Kuri who landed here over 900 years ago and then over 700 years later in 1842 the first Europeans Scotsman Robert Fyfe and his whalers arrived. This house and its stunning surrounds tell the stories of the families, their struggles, and the way in which each group made this their home.
