★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 682 reviews · 1h 30m · from $28Our pick

Watch tiny little blue penguins return to Ōamaru nests at dusk. 90 minutes of expert commentary, plus possible seals nearby.

“What could you not love about this experience with these cute penguins. We saw over 230 come back from a days fishing. The guides were great giving really interesting information. People need to behave, we are privileged to see these cute birds in their natural environment so we need to keep quiet and put our phones away without trying to break the rules. We also need to wrap up warm and wear a woolly hat as it gets chilly by 11pm!”

2.Guided Evening Penguin Viewing Otago Peninsula, Dunedin, New Zealand

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 471 reviews · from $34Top rated

Guided evening penguin viewing on Dunedin’s Otago Peninsula, with expert-led talks, close-up little blue penguins, and no-flash photos.

“This was an amazing experience and I would highly recommend it! It was very cold and windy down at the lookout point when we went so wear very warm and wind proof clothes (27/9). The tour guides were so interactive and friendly, and we saw a lot of penguins. The guides rotated our groups around the lookout point as well which was great and allowed everyone to get different views and angles of the penguins. The beginning of the tour also started with 30 minutes of an introduction and a bit of history which we absolutely loved. Great effort!”
