Fewer People - More Wildlife!

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

Our tours offer the best chance to see Yellow-eyed penguins, NZ sea lions, NZ fur seals, albatross plus a wide variety of birdlife, in their natural habitat.

Your professionally guided tour of no more than 10 people will take you to our private beach & conservation 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.

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

The Clearwater family has deep roots here and is devoted to preserving and enhancing its pristine beauty.

Become a part of our shared commitment to protect its natural wildlife habitats.
