Verified traveler

Loved the little blue penguins. Not sure what Penguines are, but if this refers to their sanguine and genuine qualities, then they are truly Penguines!

Popular places to visit

At the end of the road is a gorgeous beach. After 3PM you are not allowed on it anymore, because the yellow eyed penguins will come back from their fishing activities. You can look at them, although you are quite high up and the penguins are tiny!
