Best part of our trip!

5.00The best part of our trip was this excursion! Loved seeing the seals in their natural habitat. The views are spectacular! Our driver was very knowledgeable and friendly. We were able to see a yellow eyed penguin waaayyyy off in the distance on the beach. The sea lions laying on the beautiful beach were fun to see, whipping sand onthemselves to keep cool. Lots of birds to see also. I love beaches and oceans!

5.00Kelly, our guide, was an amazing source of knowledge about the wildlife we saw, including a plethora of birds (pointing out an elusive albatross), fur seals, elephant seals and, best of all, the rarest of all penguins, the yellow eyed penguin. We loved walking on the beaches and in the bush to get close to these creatures living in their natural habitats. Some fellow cruise ship passengers went out on catamaran or at vs but I prefer exploration on foot. It just feels more intimate and respectful of God's beautiful creatures.

5.00From the moment we got to the meeting point everything was so well handled and such a wonderful experience. Our guide and Driver Kelli was so very knowledgeable (not to mention a great driver) and made sure we saw every sea lion (including newly born), fur seals, birds of every type, sheep and the most fantastic views!!!! The fact that this is a family farm makes it even more special that all this was shared with us and that our fare helps with all their conservation efforts!!!!! One of our favorite trips ever!!!!!
Absolutely Fabulous- not to be missed

5.00Unfortunately I was the only person to sign up for the tour so they cancelled it. They were very sweet and gave me suggestions on other outfitters (who were fully booked.) But they tried! They say I’ll have my money refunded in a few days. But this is a long way to travel and have trips cancelled :-(
Excellent tour
