Bluff Cove Lagoon offers a unique opportunity to see Gentoo penguins up close in their natural habitat, often alongside other wildlife like sea lions and various bird species. The tour typically involves a scenic 4x4 drive across rugged terrain to reach the lagoon. Due to the natural environment, accessibility may be limited for those with mobility issues. While solo visits are possible with a rental car, guided tours are recommended for the knowledge provided and the challenging driving conditions. The penguin viewing season is generally from October to April, with peak activity during the breeding season. Tour costs can vary, but expect to pay around $100-$200 USD per person, and the typical visit duration is approximately 4-6 hours, including travel time. Be prepared for unpredictable weather and dress accordingly.
