Oamaru 1-Day Tour Guide 🐧 Explore the world of cute little animals

Oamaru is a pleasant surprise in New Zealand's South Island. Not only does it have unique historical buildings, but you can also see super cute little penguins. It is definitely worth staying here for a night! 1️⃣ Penguin Crossing Sign The famous little blue penguin 🐧 check-in spot! This is a must-visit place for penguin fans. After the navigation leads you to it, you can choose to pay or watch it for free. - Paid option: Go to the designated area of ​​the Penguin Conservation Center and watch the whole process of penguins returning to their nests up close, which will be a better experience. - Free option: Try your luck on the roadside and see if you can see little blue penguins returning to their nests. I chose to watch from the roadside and occasionally saw one or two naughty little penguins returning to their nests. They are very timid and will stop by the roadside and not cross the road when they see a car. In general, paying to watch may be more secure and provide a better experience. 2️⃣ Whitestone City Oamaru - With the classic Victorian town style, stepping into this place is like traveling back in time. - Fun interactive exhibits and beautiful old buildings make this a great place to visit with children, where you can enjoy the history and immerse yourself in educational activities. 3️⃣ 🚢 Seaside Pier There are various kinds of ships moored in the harbor. The casual and unrestrained arrangement coupled with the sunshine☀️ makes it look leisurely and peaceful. - The sea breeze blows, and the boat sways gently in the wind, this space makes people feel naturally calm. It's a great place to take photos and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Tips: - The evening wind is strong at the seaside: it is recommended to wear a windproof jacket 🧥 and a hat to keep out the cold! Otherwise it might be so cold that you would doubt your life. - Pay attention to your clothing planning: It is best to prepare non-slip shoes to avoid accidents on slippery surfaces. #globaltravel #newzealand #newzealand #newzealandsouthisland #trip
