When
Ongoing
Protect and educate visitors about wildlife at Sandfly Bay on the Otago Peninsula. You'll help safeguard yellow-eyed penguins (hoiho) and New Zealand sea lions while teaching visitors about these incredible species.
This is a regular role running from mid-October to mid-April. Shifts are typically 2–3 hours in the afternoon when penguins return to shore.
A wonderful opportunity for wildlife enthusiasts. No specialist skills required — DOC provides training.
