Tour provides you with the opportunity to discover Kororā, the Little Blue

Penguin, the world’s smallest penguin, in their natural habitat – scurrying up

to their cliff-face burrows at Pilots Beach on the Otago Peninsula. After a

day at sea, the penguins congregate in groups known as “rafts” not far

offshore where they often can be heard vocalising – usually short, loud

squawks. At dusk penguins come ashore and make their way to their nests

where they feed their chicks or roost.

wildlife, however lighting is provided for the viewing of blue penguins and

modern digital cameras are capable of taking great photographs under

these conditions. Please help us to be respectful of the welfare of the

wildlife. Sightings of the Little Blue Penguins are guaranteed throughout the

year, however low thick sea fog may affect them coming ashore which is

very rare. Penguins can bee seen as close as 1 – 5 metres in front of the

through them. The result is a twisting network of limestone passages

filled with sculpted rock, whirlpools and a roaring underground

waterfall. Deep inside the caves, beyond the roar of the water, you

will be taken by small boat into a silent hidden grotto inhabited by

thousands of glowworms, unique to New Zealand. In the subterranean

darkness, they produce a glittering display that is nothing short of

extraordinary.

First train leaves the Shantytown Railway Station at 9:45 am, last train

leaves at 4pm Located - 10 km South of Greymouth, 40 km North of Hokitika

The township comprises two main streets lined with 30 historic buildings,

including a church, and the two-storey coronation hall. The buildings are

mostly original and transferred or re-built on site and house recreations of

shops from around the late 19th century such as a bank, hotel, butcher,

shoe shop, barber, carpenter, and a blacksmith. Some of the shops sell

goods, such as traditional lollies. The town also contains a hospital, train

station, fire station, a Masonic Lodge, a church, and a jail. A foundry

showcases the craftsmanship, tools and techniques of ironwork via

interactive displays and preserved historic equipment.

Adjacent to the main township, a "Chinatown" area depicts the life and

living environment of Chinese immigrant gold miners who had migrated to

the West Coast in the 1860s from other gold fields in New Zealand as they

ran dry, as well as directly from China. Shantytown also contains a re-

created narrow-gauge bush tram line that follows a 19th-century sawmill

tram track from the Shantytown train station to a stop at the Infants Creek

Sawmill and a terminus 1.5 km from Shantytown for photo opportunities. Trains run throughout the day and are included in the admission. The train

station is built as a 3/4 replica of original railway plans. Passengers can

disembark at the Infants Creek Sawmill where a sluice gun is fired up to

four times per day and tutored gold panning is available. The vintage

passenger carriages are pulled by either "Gerty", an 1877 L-class steam

engine from Avonside Engine Company in England, rebuilt by NZR Hillside

in Petone and Newmarket in New Zealand, or by an 1896 improved F-class

Kaitangata steam engine.

Other attractions include having an "old time" photo in costume taken, a

holographic theatre show, and a playground. Short bush walks around the

area lead to a surveyors monument and lookout.

Harbour. The vessel is the largest and most luxurious on the harbour.

There's lots of room on the two decks for unimpeded viewing and plenty

of covered seating, for shade and shelter. Inside there's a bar and toilets.

And the Black Cat is both stable and safe. Each cruise is fully narrated by

your skipper who has extensive knowledge of the nature, wildlife and

history of the harbour.

live volcano millions of years ago, there are many spectacular ancient

lava flows to be seen. One cliff has a sheer 500-foot face and a

fascinating history, while Nikau Palm Gully is the southernmost limit for

these tropical palm trees. There is also the incredible Scenery Nook, an
