Blue Penguins Pukekura Experience with Transport
Blue Penguins Pukekura Experience with Transport
Otago Peninsula's largest penguin colony. See up to 200 blue penguins returning from sea in the evening (Generally more penguins seen over our spring/summer months than our autumn/winter months). During March-August (non-breeding period), we expect between 20-100 penguins seen each night over those months.
On rare occasions during the non-breeding months we might see fewer than 15 birds. We will offer viator refunds of 70% if we see less than 5 birds! Extremely close viewing of these birds.
