5.00We had an absolutely fantastic time with Clearwater Wildlife Tours. Our guide, Adrian, was the highlight of the trip. He is incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much fascinating detail, not just about the penguins, but about the entire local ecosystem and important conservation efforts. It was genuinely moving to see how much Adrian cares about the wildlife and their environment—his passion really enhanced the entire tour experience. If you are looking for a highly informative and respectful wildlife encounter, we highly recommend booking with Clearwater Wildlife Tours. Ask for Adrian!
great time

5.00We are in New Zealand for just under 3 weeks. This penguin tour was beyond what I expected, and was absolutely phenomenal. Adrian was our guide and he was WONDERFUL. Our group had a lot of questions and he was able to answer all of them. We saw several penguins (and birds and seals and sea lions). We were not sure what to expect for a 4 hour tour, and it was more than worth it. I also appreciated having a small group of people so we had plenty of space to spread out and everyone had a good view of everything.

5.00Our guide Lisa was great.Beautiful stops at overlooks along the way to the Clearwater’s sheep farm.The visit was a lot of fun and interesting.Met some very friendly babies that came right up to me like a pet dog. Went to a place where we saw tons of seals and then on to a beach to see sea lions interacting with each other on the sandy beach. I highly recommend this excursion,it was a highlight of our cruise.

4.00This was a wonderful experience and the scenery was spectacular! We saw many birds, seals, sea lions, penguins and the odd sheep. Easy pick up. Wonderful guide. The only reason i gave a 4 is to warn that it is quite physical with stairs and steep inclines. Necessary to see the wildlife but there is no easier way.
Memorable!!!

5.00This was a very memorable experience! Rachel went above and beyond to accommodate us and was filled with interesting history and information about the region. Her family’s farm is absolutely breathtaking and our time with Adrienne, watching the sea lions and penguins was amusing and educational. The small group allowed for a uniquely intimate experience. This tour is worth every penny!
Small group trip worth the money!

5.00Our guide Lisa was super friendly and informative and made sure everyone was able to get a great experience. She was super at spotting birds and making sure we all got to see them along the way. The highlight was catching the penguins coming in to shore in the evening- just what we hoped for!
