I was only on the island for about 30 hours, but we packed so much in, it seemed so much longer.

I say 'we', but I went alone, however I soon felt part of the 'whanau'.

So many other reviews describe the experience far better than I could. The highlight of my visit will be watching the Kiwi, then looking down to find that a penguin had joined our group. He was looking up at us as if to say, "What you looking at guys?". He then toddled up the path as only penguins can.

Great people, scenery, birdlife, food, people, island, and did I mention the people? A great experience I will never forget.

Thanks John and all your whanau.
