Ben our driver and guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. He even took us on a slight detour so we could see sea lions. Due to the mid April date of our tour, there were only a few penguins remaining in the natural habitat section as the rest had already left for the season. We also saw several penguins in the rehabilitation centre.

This was an excellent trip in a small bus with Mark. All the stops were interesting and Mark knew everything about the local wildlife. Shame it rained all day.

It was an extremely uncomfortable tour. 13 adults were,packed into a small van with tight spaces between seats. Most of the time, we cannot hear what the guide was saying, the audio part was not working. The Otago Peninsular Wildlife Tour was a big disappointment.

Our guide, Ollie, was the best guide we encountered on our excursions in New Zealand. He is a very personable and knowledgeable young man who shared his information intelligently, enhanced with generous doses of humour. Although it was a wet grey day, our visual, auditory, and kinesthetic experiences on this tour were wonderful. We saw everything that the tour advertised and benefited from having Ollie as our guide!
