Yellow-eyed penguin colony

One of the best spots in NZ to view the endangered yellow eyed penguins. Drive south to Moeraki Village. At the entrance to the village watch out for the sign 'to lighthouse road'. Follow the lighthouse road (good gravel road) to the lighthouse (8 km from the park). The best time to view them is around 1-2 hours before sunset. BEWARE they close at 5.30.
