What you can expect

Marvel at the world's smallest penguins as they return from a day's fishing. See the little blue penguins in their natural environment, as they make their way up the beach and a stony ramp before crossing into the colony.

Upon arrival at the Penguin Colony, check in with one of the team, before being guided to your seating area. Then, watch the penguins make their journey up to their specially made nesting boxes, from no more than 15 metres away.

Throughout the experience, delight in the informative commentary of your expert team. Learn about the biology and ecology of the penguins, their breeding habits, the work the Colony does to protect the penguins and why the conservation of these tiny birds is so important in New Zealand. If you're lucky, you may also see a range of different wildlife in the area, such as New Zealand fur seals and other seabirds, such as the Otago Shags on a nearby wharf.
