When living in an island nation like New Zealand, the weather is hard to predict and can quickly change; sunny one minute then pouring with rain the next and this even in the middle of summer.&nbsp;Offering outdoor activities, we may sometimes get rained on. We do not cancel our tours due to rainy days; it is just part of experiencing this wild country.

In saying that, all of our best wildlife viewing is usually when it&#39;s raining, especially on our Evening penguin tours.

Just remember to always bring a raincoat to New Zealand, just in case. We all hope for a beautiful sunny day but rain or shine our guides will give you an authentic New Zealand experience.&nbsp;In consideration of the above, no refund can be expected in the event of rain.&nbsp;A 10% service charge applies to all other cancellation refunds.

The best time for penguin viewing is the breeding season between end of August to December. You can see moulting adults in January and February, but starting the end of February through early April we do NOT have penguins. There&nbsp;are also some windows of excellent viewing opportunities from mid-April to September when the birds return periodically from the sea.

Escape into nature&nbsp;and spend 24 hours in stunning isolated Pohatu Bay.&nbsp;Enjoy this&nbsp;unforgettable package with an overnight stay in historic and cosy private units in the middle of a penguin colony and a working sheep farm with many rare breeds of sheep.&nbsp;Learn about the area&rsquo;s rich history, native flora and fauna and Pohatu&rsquo;s unique penguin conservation program.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Situated on the tip of Akaroa&#39;s majestic Banks Peninsula, the family-run farm is home to the largest Australasian Little Penguin colony on mainland New Zealand.&nbsp;Enjoy&nbsp;the chance&nbsp;to see these amazing birds up-close and in their natural habitat on a guided evening&nbsp;tour of the colony (when in season).

&nbsp;

Take a breathtaking scenic drive through the peninsula, enjoying&nbsp;stunning photo opportunities over Akaroa Harbour, the outer coast, and surrounding farmlands and forested hillsides.&nbsp;Stop to visit the spectacular cliff-tops of Akaroa Head&nbsp;Scenic&nbsp;Reserve and revel in the&nbsp;opportunity to walk the beautiful bush and waterfall section of the renowned Banks Track. The package also includes the option to take part in a guided sea kayaking safari to spot local wildlife at a heavily discounted rate (not included, payable directly).

&nbsp;

At night,&nbsp;gaze up and see the spectacular milky way and wake up to the sound of birdsong, sheep and the ocean. Make use of the safe swimming beach just outside your door or explore the surrounding&nbsp;landscape.&nbsp;With private sleeping units, we can welcome couples on a romantic escape or groups&nbsp;of friends or family&nbsp;looking for an adventure break. Although the units or rooms are private,&nbsp;some sharing of facilities such as the fully equipped kitchen, living room and bathroom is required.
