Blue Penguins Pukekura Experience Otago Peninsula, Nieuw-Zeeland

This was such a magical experience for our family. The staff was very knowledgeable and guided us through the experience. We learned so much about the blue penguins and it was so special to be able to see them come in from the sea and head to their little nests.

I went with boys 12 and 5 year old and we enjoyed every minute of it. Breathtaking picturesque drive from Dunedin. Informative, energetic&fun brief by the guides. Long wait - we were told penguins were testing our patience that evening - but this pause was good at the end, gave us time to tune in the nature around, spot a sea lion, train our eyes in the bay. And the moment when little crowd start emerging from the waters - unforgettable! Strongly recommend!

The Blue Penguins Pukekura Experience is the Ultimate night out. After being greeted at the door - we were informed of the plan for the evening and when the Experience would begin. We took our seats and our Guide introduced us to the team and then gave a very informative talk about the Penguins and the trust that runs the sanctuary. The time finally arrived for us to make our way down to the viewing platform. We got to see a female seal that had been in sanctuary make her way back to the see. Our Guide told us what sounds to listen out for and what the Penguins do when they come to shore. Hearing and seeing the Penguins was magical - bonus was that we were able to take photos and videos of our experience. Also there is a selection of Hot Drinks and Penguins to purchase while at the viewing deck. Highly recommend this amazing experience.

Wondeful experience watching the penguins....

Such an amazing time! The staff were very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. They are doing great things! Learned a lot and got to see really cute little blue penguins. Saw over 40 which was great for winter time! A truly special memory from our vacation. Would highly recommend!

Such incredible helpful staff and such an amazing experience. The drive out is beautiful and makes the trip really amazing from start to finish. Well priced and doesn’t take too long! Would absolutely recommend not only to families and tourists but anyone looking for something great to do especially in winter when it start at 4.45!

Great experience! Was worried due to off season, but saw three rafts come in. Watching the Penguins waddle out of water and up to their nesting area was amazing.

It was such an amazing experience to see penguins back from seas. They were so cute when they tried to climb up the stones and went back to their nests. Really worth a visit if u stay in Dunedin. Also, the staffs there were very enthusiastic and they shared a lot of knowledge about the penguins to us. Highly recommend it.

It was a great experience and we learnt so much about Blue Penguins.

Very professional operation, the photos linked to reviews are indicative of what you will see. Like most tourism in NZ it is well run and enjoyable with very knowledgeable guides and great facilities. Highly recommended tour.
