What an excellent experience! Just as promised, we got to see many penguins make their journey from the sea to their burrows. We signed up for the tour so we could see the penguins, but we couldn't have asked for a better orientation to the Otago Peninsula and to Dunedin, where my daughter will be spending the next four months. Jonathan, our guide, shared so much information about animals, culture, history, geology, and more. Top-notch experience!

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Danni our tour guide. She was energetic and enthusiastic and passionate about wildlife. The tour was very interesting. We stopped at various places on the way that were of interest and she spotted many birds and landmarks for us along the way. These are things we would have missed if we just drove out to the albatross centre/pukekura penguins ourselves. The highlight was the adorable little blue penguins! This is certainly an experience not be to be missed especially if you enjoy wildlife.

Fabulous scenery and information. James the guide was such a lovely person and gave great info and took us on a tour of the peninsulla before arriving to see the penquins. An amazing experience. My sole reason for travelling to this part of New Zealand. And i certainly wasnt disappointed. So well managed with the welfare of the penquins first priority as it should be
