In the non-breeding months (February to August) we expect between 10 - 80 penguins each night. We offer viator refunds of 30% if we see less than 5 penguins !

At dusk we watch penguins waddle past us just a few metres away. One of the closest and best opportunities to see penguins! Voted in the top 10 TripAdvisor's Best Experiences in New Zealand 2022. PHOTOGRAPHY ALLOWED (no flash) Consider joining our 'Otago Peninsula In-Depth Tour' for a fully guided peninsula experience, see penguins and other wildlife too ! We view penguins on our open platform, they are just a few metres away and you do have the ability to move around to see penguins from different angles.

Amazing wild Penguin viewing experience, we were able to see hundreds of penguins making their way back to their nests. There is a short walk to the viewing platform, bundle up for 1+ hour outside. Hosts were very informative.

Absolutely brilliant, initial talk telling you all about the penguins and some history of the area. Then taken down to a viewing platform to wait for the Penguins to come ashore. November is a great month to see little blue penguins we saw over 250 penguins.
Great experience

So glad we made the decision to go it was fantastic to watch 200+ little blue penguins swarm the beach and clamber up to their nests. Educational and fun. You might spot an albatross too, we did!

We had a fabulous time! We all enjoyed the presentation and learned a lot about blue penguins and a bit about the history of New Zealand and the area! Then watching the penguins come a shower…what a hoot! So glad we did this!
Very fun

A little chilly, but so worth it to be that close to see the Little Bliue Penguins. The guides are very knowledgeable & they move everyone around so all can see & experience those cute wee penguins coming home at night...
Exactly as described; very good!

Excellent presentation before the outdoor viewing. Penguins came to shore and everyone got a chance to view them. Wish there were some lights and an EXIT sign in the parking lot to guide us to the street afterward.
