Exkursion zu den Pinguinen

Die Tour - eher eine biologische Exkursion - war super! Joey hat sehr viel über ihre Arbeit mit den Pinguinen berichtet. Und einen Teil der Arbeit konnten wir mit verfolgen. Das war sehr informativ und hat viel Spaß gemacht. Für alle, die an biologischen und ökologischen Fragestellungen interessiert sind ein "muss"!

Wärmstens zu empfehlen

Wir hatten einen sehr kompetenten und bemühten Guide, der nicht nur viel seines Wissens über Pinguine mit uns geteilt hat, sondern auch über viel über die Landschaft, die (Landschafts-)Geschichte, Flora, Fauna und vor allem die bedeutsame Naturschutzarbeit zu berichten wusste. Jeder Teilnehmer bekam ein Fernglas und zusätzlich wurde auch ein Teleskop aufgestellt. Letztlich haben wir etwa 20 Pinguine im Meer und ein paar an Land zu Gesicht bekommen. Auch zwei Pelzrobben haben wir gesehen. Ich habe sehr viel Freude an der Tour gehabt und viel gelernt! Diese Tour ist wärmstens zu empfehlen!

Incredible Experience

The whole experience was incredible! From Danielle being super lovely and helpful during booking to Ben introducing us the penguins and the incredible work he is a part of protecting the penguins and bringing back the native flora and fauna! The penguins were so cute and the seals were an added bonus! Would do it again!

Amazing tour

I loved doing this tour. Our guides Joey and Geraldine were amazing, they are really passionante, it's really interesting to learn not only about pinguins, but also about the place, the history, the fauna and so much more. And yes, we saw penguins and their chicks !!! We saw them close in the nesting boxes, but also on the bay waiting to come back on shore. We also saw some fur seals and some Cormorants drying on the side. The money of this tour is for helping the preservation of the land and the growth of the blue penguins populations. It would be really sad if they ended up being extinct and I think it's totally worth it.
