奧馬魯藍企鵝保護中心雖然是遊客景點，但同時是一個研究及保護中心。整個保護中心的運作核心是一個長期的企鵝保育計劃，旨在保護企鵝及其數量持續增長。這個保育計劃的重要部分是保護中心的一位海洋生物學家，她現在已經是新西蘭研究小企鵝的領軍人物了。保護中心的保育計劃還延及到保護及監測整個地區的企鵝。

The Oamaru Blue Penguin Colony provides visitors with an opportunity to see little penguins in their natural environment. A tour during the day allows visitors to peek into the penguins’ nests, stroll through their habitat and learn about their fascinating lives. In the evening, visitors are captivated by watching the nightly arrival of penguins from their days’ fishing at sea.

You have individual seating which makes the experience more comfortable. You will be informed about the lives of the penguins during a commentary delivered by one of our guides. When you make your way out to the grandstand you will enter into the breeding colony on a boardwalk and walk among their nesting burrows.

In the Premium Viewing grandstand you view the penguins from only a few metres away. Participants in this tour need to remain still and quiet because the penguins are so close and are frightened by sudden movement.

Premium viewing is restricted to only 60 seats so bookings are advised.
