Elm Wildlife Tours have been the highlight of many visitors trip to Dunedin, New Zealand. We guide visitors to some of the most spectacular wildlife spots in the area including our restricted wildlife conservation sanctuary, where excellent close-up viewing of some of the World's rarest wildlife is available.   We provide three different tours choices, 'Peninsula encounters' is our well known daily 'wildlife packed' tour to the Otago peninsula. A full day nature experience to the remote Catlins area on the south east coast with is known as 'Catlins encounters', is not a scheduled tour, however it is available as a guided charter to groups of six or more, and our 'Wild Coast Explorer' is a private option providing exclusive one-day or multi-day wildlife experiences on either the Otago peninsula or the southern coast.
Elm Wildlife Tours have received many awards including New Zealand Tourism Awards six times as winner or finalist, and have been benchmarked by the Green Globe system, to the highest environmental standard of operation based on agenda 21 of the Rio earth conference. We operate in a sustainable environment friendly manner which was acknowledged when we received the environmental award at New Zealand's tourism awards 2005.   We have benefited from a negative carbon footprint since 1997 as our self planted forest absorbs much more carbon than our tour operation creates' . We are particularly active in conservation, especially to benefit yellow-eyed penguins. This is our principle endeavour with a long term project to increase yellow-eyed penguins available breeding area through replanting native habitat within our wildlife sanctuary.
Elm Wildlife Tours is fortunate to work with local landowners who see the future benefit of doing so, and congratulate them on their efforts, particularly the predator control and additional planting of native species which has been carried out.
