What To Expect

Otago Peninsula's largest penguin colony, see up to 200 blue penguins arrive home from a day at sea (more seen over summer than winter). In the non-breeding months (February to August) we expect between 10 - 80 penguins each night. We will offer viator refunds of 70% if we see less than 5 penguins ! The tour starts with an introduction to the human history of this significant headland, occupied by Māori long before European arrival. Then just before dusk we move onto our purpose-built platform to marvel at the world's smallest penguin species returning from sea. Watch penguins waddle past us just a few metres away. One of the closest and best opportunities to see our special wildlife in their natural habitat. 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. We DO NOT allow the use of umbrellas, so if it is wet bring a rain jacket.

Our penguin experience was fabulous! It was very well done and we learnt a lot about these beautiful little penguins and could clearly see them as they waddled up the beach and under our viewing deck.

Laid back rangers who know their stuff, esp the birds. Right amount of time doing the presentation part, then you walk down the trail to a cove on a viewing platform perched over a bunch of penguin boxes. We saw about 100 make it past the two sea lions rough-housing in the surfline.
Awesome Experience

This was the most magical experience. The penguins were so cute and there were so many! The staff were so kind and helped my friend and I when we needed assistance. They also were really passionate about their work which made the experience so much better. I would recommend this tour to everyone.

The experience was unique and memorable ! Fantastic ! The staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly! I recommend you go with a car, or tour vehicle. I used public transportation and it takes a 40min walk to get there and there is no Uber and no Taxi available. One of the staff was beyond kind and gave my friend and I a ride back. What a wonderful and generous gesture !
