If you want to see penguins, come here.
The Albatross Centre in Otago offered a similar experience but for double the price. This area in Oamaru let us see over 300 penguins coming ashore. This was a spectacle to see. I would do the night viewing and pay the extra, you won't be disappointed!!

Be there after 3pm and have enough time there, when you are patient you will see a lot of penguins on the beach - awesome and free.

The set up was very comfortable for the guest and the penguins appeared to be very uninterrupted by the observations.
-
We had waited hours to see two yellow eyed penguins in the distance earlier so decided to pay to see them instead.
Saw 70 or so come ashore!
-
Very nice short trip, we only saw two penguins because we were too early.
Best time to go is 5pm.
-
Expensive but awesome to see.
Too bad you couldn't get closer or take photos. I understand why though.
-
You can see some penguins and if you are lucky some seals.
But it was very cold and you have to wait.
-
Very good view of the penguins, we could see them struggling to get on the beach and meeting their 'mates'.
-
We could see penguins at night or early in the morning near the port and on the beach - AMAZING!

We were in New Zealand 12 years ago and had a beautiful experience with the Blue Penguins and it was beautiful.
Now when we came with our daughter it was made into a business and the cost of it was around $80.
