Guest User2025-09-25
It was a very pleasant experience. Although the trip was a bit long, the driver was very friendly and enthusiastic. He explained the local history, customs, and landscapes along the way. He was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot. The fjord cruise staff were also very friendly and explained the fjord landscape. We saw many waterfalls along the way.

Guest User2024-11-28
The steamship Ernstlaus trip is one of Queenstown's most classic tourism projects, none of them. The event was arranged very easily and very pleasant. The buffet barbecue tasted good. The lake and mountains were panoramic and worth recommending!

Reviews: Guided Evening Penguin Viewing Otago Peninsula, Dunedin, New Zealand
Guest User2024-09-14
Fantastic experience!! Guides were friendly, animated and very very knowledgeable about the local area, culture and wildlife. Not overcrowded when we went with plenty of space on the viewing deck for people to move around and get a good look at and photograph the penguins. Saw 40+ penguins come in over an hour and their antics are so cute and funny. Brilliant breeding and environmental management program while still allowing very close encounters with the birds. Highly recommended for everyone young and old. Short walk down and back up the steps to the viewing area from the clifftop.
