★★★★★ ★★★★★ Inmersion in a penguin life Mary G 22 July 2022 We had a blast on our evening penguin tour. We did the tour in June thinking we might see only a few penguins as it was not breeding season for penguins but most of the nesting boxes were occupied by adults snuggling together. We saw them up close with minimal disturbance as the guide took all the precaution to not stress the penguins. Little penguins are so adorable, our children were thrilled! Then from the hides we watched groups of penguins on the water coming back from fishing. We learnt so much from the tour about nature, wildlife, conservation and the viewing was much better than what we expected so a real bonus!! The family clearly have a passion for protecting our precious environment. A must do!
★★★★★ ★★★★★ A true conservation based tour - An absolute must. Avek 21 May 2022 We can truly feel that the penguins are at the forefront of what this family does. After a stunning drive from Akaroa, our guide took us around the bay to help him checking on penguins in small boxes (so cute to see so many penguin houses and so important for the conservation work to check how the colony is doing and if there're predators). We also saw so many on the water with binoculars and scope and even some on the rocks under the hides we were in. Super important, they do not use light to not disturb the penguins and money from the tour goes toward helping with the protection of those little guys.
