Flea Bay boasts the largest mainland colony of any little penguin on mainland New Zealand.
On the second evening of the four day walk, Francis Helps invites Track walkers to join him on his evening tour of the white flippered penguin nesting boxes that he has established and maintains on the farm. Sometimes Yellow Eye penguins (Hoiho) are also seen.
The penguins breed between September and mid - January, and adults moult between December and end of February. The tours are seasonal, spring and early summer, stopping around the end of January, with the best viewing month being October.
