There are two colonies. The 'Yellow Eyed' penguins are viewed on a beach from a cliff top and are free to visit. There was something on the beach that looked suspiciously penguin like but it was hard to tell without binoculars. See if you can decide from the photo below.
You have to pay to see the Blue Penguins and sit quietly in a large shelter so as not to disturb them when they arrive ashore and photos aren't allowed. We saw about 120 making there way up the beach in the twilight and running across to their nests.
On the Sunday we went to see the Moeraki Boulders. Had a great breakfast in the cafe which overlooks the beach and boulders first. Managed to get down there just before all the other tourists turned up too, which was a big bonus.
