Otago Peninsula's largest penguin colony, see up to 200 blue penguins arrive home from a day at sea (more seen in summer than winter). In the non-breeding months (Feb-Aug) we expect between 10-80 penguins each night. We offer viator refunds of 30% if we see less than 5 penguins ! (Lower than booking direct through our own website where we offer refunds of 50 %) If no availability on this site, check our own website for additional availability. Start with an introduction to penguins and the human history of this significant place. At dusk watch penguins waddle past us just a few metres away. One of the closest & best opportunities to see penguins! Top 10 TripAdvisor's Best Experiences in New Zealand 2023.
