Super tour yesterday with Elm. Small bus of around 12 people, and it wasn't full no we were only 8. Even if the weather was not really good, we saw a several albatros, and other bird, a loooot of fur seals and sea lions from really close, some yellow eyed pingouins and even an orca !! Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable and seemed really happy to share with us about all those animals. I enjoyed this day !

There were 12 passengers for Elms Wildlife Tour. It was great in many ways: (1) Comprehensive tour as stated in the web. (2) Warren our driver and guide was quite knowledgable. (3) When he had to pick up one couple at the castle, but that couple didn’t show up and the couple couldn’t be contacted either, he patiently searched for them at the receptionist, contacting his boss many times, circlening the large castle several times before leaving without them about half an hour later than the agreed time. (4) The couple finally contacted the company, they waited in front of the lodge rather than in front of the castle. The company used another car to send the couple so they could join us at Albatross Centre. (5) Warren was quite patience in explaining and answering all our questions, searching for and stopping by at different places where he could show us various wildlife all along the way (6) It has the option of Life Tour for those who have some challenges for climbing and going down lots of stairs to see penguins, sea lions etc in their natural habitats. (7) They provided free hotel transfers. (8) The cost was reasonable.

This is an excellent wildlife tour - Tony the guide is clearly passionate about the conservation work they do to provide habitats for the wildlife. You will get very close to the seals (on the rocks) and the sea lions (on the beach) - watching them play together is a joy, especially when within a few feet of you, but knowing that this is all natural and not staged it is even better. We also saw two types of penguins, again very close, each seemingly had its own character and who knew they were such good climbers. Unfortunately the albatrosses did not want to play on our visit, with only a couple of fleeting glimpses but you cant control these things and still keep it natural and the others made up it. This should be on your must do list - and make sure you do a tour rather than just driving yourself around the penisula, as the tour takes you to places off limits to the public and comes with the guidance to make the most of your time in this area.
