Marine creatures are an amazing fascination to many. Their appearance underneath deep waters is truly mesmerizing. On that note, Omaru is a wonderful home for little blue penguins that are the tiniest species of penguins in the world. If you desire to witness these tiny beautiful creatures, SilverNeedle Hotels are perfect to accommodate it.
The famous Omaru blue penguin colony of New Zealand is located beyond Victorian Heritage Precinct in walking distance from the town. Usually, these little tykes nest close to cliffs along the historic harbour foreshore. The colony started when few blue penguins began to nest in this area. Yet, now this is the largest tourist attraction of the city due to the wonderful spectacle.
In day tours, you can observe these little creatures hiding away in their burrows. It is a rare opportunity to see penguins up close. Moreover, you can also opt for a stroll around the colony to explore the natural habitat of penguins. These day tours usually begin at 10 am. But, it cannot be guaranteed that you will be able to see penguins in the day tour as penguins come and go naturally.
On the other hand, evening tours are the highlight of the colony. During evening tours you can see penguins arrive after fishing during the day, walking along the stony ramp and make their stop at the breeding colony. Penguins usually arrive at around 5.30 pm in the dusk. General entry would permit you to listen to a commentary while watch penguin settle into the colony. In the premium entry, your experience would be more comfortable and alluring.
However, the best times to visit blue penguin colony are the months of December and November as they are the times that you will see the most number of penguins. Lastly,you should keep in mind that use of cameras at this setting is prohibited and it is advisable to wear warm clothes when visiting the blue penguin colony.
