This was a fun adventure for so many reasons! The vehicles were really unusual and added to the excitement - I'm glad I didn't have to walk on some of those steep, muddy hills! Because only the two of us had signed up, we had the tour guide and vehicle all to ourselves. The views alone were worth the price.... More

We went their just before sunset and we even saw a baby penguin and two penguins just coming in on the beach. It was... More

This was a great experience seeing animals in their native environment. The 8 wheel vehicles were a fun way to get out to where the animals were. The guide was knowledgeable and enjoyed explaining the local environment and the animal’s habitat. The view was stunning at each stop and provided endless photo opportunities. To find the place just keep going... More

It is always good to be well informed beforehand, we were not, we hoped for more. The ride was fantastic, but penguins were far away from us, hard to see even with binos. More

Fantastic trip with passionate owners. Yes it s bumpy and dusty but that is part of the fun and added to our enjoyment. We were lucky with a sunny day and saw the seals play and lounge on their rocks, the yellow eyed penguins in the distance and were lucky enough to get to creep behind e hide and see... More

The 8 wheeler transporters were well suited to the terrain and allowed us to get close to the wildlife. These people are trying really hard to get rid of the vermin near the rookeries and need all the help they can get. Commentary was informative and the guides were easy to talk to. The $cost v's the experience was 110%... More

Be prepared for a rough ride and to get a little dirty. Conditions were dry so the little all wheel drive vehiles stir up at lot of dust which will get into you clothes and possibly your camera. They do provide waterproof coats with a hood to keep the worst of the dust (or wet and mud in other conditions)... More
