Well worth the trip. - The tour was amazing and we would highly recommend it. The trip to the gannet colonies was an unexpected thrill as the farm we passed through added to the experience. The driving was excellent on the 4-wheel drive road and gave an excellent commentary and was well informed about the farm and birds. We were able to get quite close to the birds without disturbing them and got good photos... other tours we have done eg Yellow Eyed penguins, took us to about 100m from the birds which was not really close enough for good photos.

A perfect day out - A great day out. Our tour guide Trevor was absolutely amazing and very knowledgeable. A fantastic experience especially for my 6 year old she just loved everything from the bus ride to the sheep running along the road and then topping it off seeing the Gannets up close. The cookies and hot chocolate was an added bonus that finished off a perfect day.

great educational experience - Had a great experience, really appreciated the extra information given by the tour guide throughout the trip which added depth to the experience. Really happy to hear that the area is being turned into a sanctuary for many different animal and plant species. It's a beautiful area and will only get more beautiful.
