Watch these adorable creatures waddle about on the land with their heads held high. While they gracefully dive into the water with sharp precision and perfection. Watch out for the world’s smallest penguin- the korora species that come ashore at night in the Tiri Matangi island. You can also spot the yellow-eyed penguin around the Catlins region.
If you are looking for a leisurely wander with no particular agenda, head to the Wellington Waterfront. Stop by old-word cafes, bakeries and eateries that dot the Waterfront. Explore the city’s oldest market and take back home some souvenirs and mementos to remember this trip forever.
