OAMARU BLUE PENGUIN COLONY
Read moreWe have been coming here since 1992 to observe the Oamaru Blue Penguins by day, by night, or both, in their natural environment. If we are lucky, we can also come during the nesting period of the smallest penguins in the world. You can observe these marvels from a specially designed platform. Every evening, the center offers you to contemplate them returning home after their day of fishing at sea. All this is accompanied by comments from the guides.
VANISHED WORLD HERITAGE TRAIL
Read moreStarting from Duntroon and the center, Vanished World is of archaeological interest. With full signage to guide independent tourists, it is an exciting self-guided tour with maps and explanations (booklet available at Vanished World). The most interesting sites are undoubtedly Elephant Rocks, where erosion has sculpted eloquent shapes in the limestone, and Earthquake, witness to a huge upheaval.
