Held in November.
See little blue penguins (kororā in Māori and Eudyptula minor in Latin) in their nests or coming ashore at night. You're likely to see some of the penguins for free just by walking along the waterfront road leading up to the visitor center, though if you want to see them in higher concentrations, at their nests, and with more information provided, the paid viewing may be worthwhile.
