Natures Wonders creates unforgettable experiences with nature, and our partnership with Princess Cruises contributes to its future conservation
Princess Cruises created the Princess Local Partnerships Programme to give back to the communities that welcome their guests so warmly. After consulting with local communities, government, and stakeholders across Aotearoa / New Zealand, the message was clear — conservation of our natural environment matters most. That shared passion for protecting and restoring nature led Princess Cruises to partner with us here at Nature’s Wonders on the Otago Peninsula.
Through this partnership, funding and support from Princess Cruises and their guests have helped build new nesting structures for the blue-eyed penguin and contributed to the protection of an endangered yellow-eyed penguin colony. These initiatives directly strengthen our long-term conservation efforts, ensuring that these rare and beautiful birds have a secure future on our land.
Together, we’re also working to extend the predator-free boundary and replant native trees right down to the shoreline - returning the landscape to how it once was, before human intervention. By restoring this balance, the goal is to create a pristine coastal habitat where penguins and other local birdlife can not only survive, but truly flourish.
At Natures Wonders, our exclusive nature experience is different. When you visit, you’ll enjoy thrilling, close-up encounters with penguins and seals, and see a working family farm with stunning views of the Otago Peninsula and beyond. Every visit directly supports local conservation - and our partnership with Princess Cruises means your adventure funds real projects, from reforestation to a thriving blue penguin colony. Experience genuine connection and eco-focused fun with every visit.
