Coming up is the Oamaru Blue Penguin Colony and Historic Red Boatsheds. The colony began when a small number of blue penguins began nesting in a rock quarry area at the edge of Oamaru Harbour in the early 1990s. Today, it is Oamaru’s largest tourist attraction, with over 75,000 visitors per year. The best time for viewing the penguins is 2 hours before sunset when they return from sea.
