5.00I would give this tour a 10 if I could. So well done! The tour operator does an outstanding job. We saw about 100 little blue penguins come in from the day of feeding. We had tons of time and were not rushed at all. The tour before the penguin viewing was very informative and interesting. We saw all kinds of birds and sea lions. Thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Worth every penny. Sian, our guide, was excellent!
An absolute ‘must do’ in Dunedin!

5.00An unbelievable experience not to be missed if you're in this area. Book a daytime tour to see baby penguins, or a night-time experience to watch the penguins return home after a day at sea catching fish. Which ever you choose you won't be disappointed.
Blue penguins galore!

5.00The entire experience was wonderful. Our guide, Danni, shared so much knowledge about the area on our way to the viewing. The viewing area was perfect. We saw over 100 penguins come up to shore and waddle to their nest. I liked that we did not disturb our disrupt them. I would recommended this trip.
