Little Penguins – Guided Close Encounter: The National Aquarium is one of the only places in New Zealand where you can have a Close Encounter with these friendly and entertaining little birds. Little Penguins (also referred to as Little Blue Penguins) are only found in New Zealand and South Australia (where they are called Fairy Penguins). Witness for yourself their personalities as they run, waddle, and race around like airplanes across the sand and underwater. As part of your 45-minute encounter, you will get to experience just what goes on behind the scenes, discovering all about the day-to-day lives of the Little Penguins.
