Oamaru Blue Penguin Colony

Be enchanted by a unique wildlife experience. The little blue penguins will captivate you as they ride in the waves onto the rocks and make their way up the stoney beach as they return to their cliffside homes each evening. Take a daytime tour for a sneak peek "behind the scenes" into a penguin nest box in our specially designed "Blue Wing". Informative and educational visitor centre and well-stocked gift shop available. Wheelchair accessible. Open 7 days a week from 9am. Just 5 minutes drive from town centre.
