Absolutt fantastisk sted hvis du elsker natur og dyr. Vi ble møtt av seler og gjorde en dagstur å se pingvinene opp i nærheten av sine reir. Hver krone går mot det fantastiske arbeidet de gjør, bygge en sunn koloni av pingviner.....

Pingvinene kommer bare ut av vannet etter solnedgang, men hvis du er heldig kan du se dem mellom september og midten av februar.

Vi var der, det er et veldig fint sted. vi så ingen pingviner. men la oss være ærlige, med skrikende barn og venter turister, har de sannsynligvis endret kontinenter for lenge siden.

We came after sunset and saw about 8 penguins:) super nice experience!

Saw 2 penguins tonight. So close and so cute. It was between 9.15 and 10.30

Off season at the moment, but still saw one penguin - totally worth it! Came out of the ocean at 22:43. There's a person there every evening that can answer your questions. Just be sure to go after dark - you will not see any penguins in daylight!

A must see! Penguins don’t come until it’s dark but when they do they’re within 1-4 meters from the footpath. Definitely a must see if you’re in Timaru. Pretty sad that local council/police don’t care about the penguins welfare very much; boy racers up and down marine drive honking, revving engines and purposefully backfiring their engines just to scare the penguins. Calling police didn’t result in much either. Try get a number plate and car model if you can.

Saw like 10 penguins and even some babies really close. They started coming at 9:30pm, so cute! But stranger driving in their car really loud and also honked..

A must do!!! One of my highlights in NZ so far. The volunteers were amazing and the penguins are so cute? so worth it!

Must do! Lots of penguins, we arrived from 9pm onwards. Even little baby penguins waiting to be fed. The ladies volunteering to protect the penguins were just so admirable. They were lovely and it was a great moment to see them swim out the ocean. Drive slow if you’re driving down as they do loose some to the cars! Thanks volunteers!
