    So many seals to see, some come up onto the grassed area. Super cool and would recommend! Was very windy

    Lovely walk out to the peninsula on a gorgeous sunny day! Saw lots of seals/sea lions, red beaked gulls but no penguins, sadly. Not a great walk for anyone with dodgy knees - mind the potholes.

    Great! After 3 km of very good gravel road, little walk on the pa and among plenty of sea lions and gulls two penguins on the beach under the peninsula palisade neck around 5pm. Still groups of people even after opening hours.worth going best with binoculars

    Incredible place I would say it is heaven on earth ! We arrived at 4pm and we saw a yellow eye pingouin right at the beginning of the trail ! We saw a million of seals with babies also. Then at 5pm we saw 4 additional pingouin in the same spot as the first one + 1 baby !!! Best place !

    Absolutely incredible! There were a lot of seals on the second beach. I was there from 3pm to 5.30pm, and I saw 6 yellow-eyed penguins, and even a baby (just before the closing). You can see them with the naked eyes, but it's even better with binoculars!

    What a beautiful place. So many seals to see along the track. One of the best seal encounters we have had .

    Beautiful little peninsula if you want to see fur seals up close. Also lots of red-billed sea gulls, terns and spotted shags. We saw no penguins (that’s what we came for) and it’s disappointing that they close it at the best viewing times - makes no sense.

    It has opening hours now, could be useful to announce it somewhere 23/01/2020 open from 7:30 until 5:30pm. We had no idea, thus were too late when we got there.

    Saw one yellow eyed penguin around 13:20 today. Very nice view of the little guy. Lots of seals and gulls too. ? Very very windy out there.
