On the Otago Peninsula we asked some local guy how we could get to see some of those famous yellow-eyed penguins. We followed his description, crossed the peninsula on those windy and steep roads and after parking our car at an end-of-the-road ‚car park‘ we ended up walking ca. 45minutes through fields, bushes & sanddunes to get to the beach. Actually this was not the official way to see the penguins, but we only discovered this afterwards.
After this long walk to the beach at Sandfly Bay we finally saw some sealions and yellow-eyed penguins. Two sealions were totally busy with flirting, so they didn’t notice us taking pictures of them.
