Did you know the Otago Peninsula is home to TWO species of penguins?

The world’s smallest penguin (little) Blue Penguins and the rare Yellow-eyed Penguins are located here.

For blue Penguins, join Blue Penguins Pukekura for guaranteed sightings to see Blue Penguins returning from the sea each night.

At Blue Penguins Pukekura, we ONLY see Blue Penguins. We do not see the rarer, Yellow-eyed penguin. However there are places close to us on the Otago Peninsula where it is possible to see this species. But Please note; Yellow-eyed penguins are rare so viewing of that species is not guaranteed.
