Introduction

Oamaru Blue Penguin Colony is the best place to watch little blue penguins come ashore, and there are professional staff providing commentary. Because the landing times for blue penguins vary by season, with summer being later and autumn/winter being earlier, visitors are advised to check the official website for the latest penguin nest time before they visit in order to plan their trip. Taking photos is not allowed throughout the visit to protect the blue penguins from any disturbance.
