Oamaru Blue Penguin Colony

200 blue penguins came ashore at dusk in rafts (feb), waddle ashore to their burroiws, often standing around preening themselves - wait til the end and then get a closer view when less peeple around.

Kiwi & Birdlife Park

Conservation show OK, but the contents of the park are not very impressive, although you do get to see a couple of Kiwis scratching around in near darkness.

Curio Bay Penguin Watch

Wander the bay just before dusk to see yellow eyed penguins returning to their nests - only eight pairs, but accessible and not phased by humans, as long as you don't block their approach to their
nests.

Punakaiki Pancake Rocks and Blowholes

NZ has some amazing landscapes and strange and wonderful rock formations - but these are something special - try to be there close to high tide.

Amazing views, beautiful bays and beaches - we took a water taxi to Bark Bay and walked back, 26km/7hours - brilliant.
