We wanted to see penguin up close and personal so we booked the dusk tour. We were not disappointed and got to see 42 come in just on 7pm. 29 came in in one rarf and that was amazing to watch. And we got close
It is a beautiful place which must be visited during your trip to Dunedin. The drive to the centre is also quite nice, and the views along and at the centre are enjoyable.
We viewed the film and went and looked at the young chicks. It is amazing to see these birds. It is great that this conservation work is continuing. The cafe was nice too. Helpful staff.More

This boat trip was truly wonderful - we were so lucky and had about 50 albatrosses diving around our boat, and putting on a magnificent aerial display. Unforgettable!More

We much enjoyed the albatross observation room and guide's fascinating knowledge. The penguin part would have been excellent except for the pouring rain - we'd probably skip penguins if we'd realised what the experience was like in bad weather (or bring decent waterproofs)More
