Offshore Sea Life ID Guide: West Coast is designed to be a quick, handy resource for use on whale watching and one-day pelagic trips.

Thanks to fencing off of the breeding area, attacks from land predators have declined and now all four of the local cormorant species can also be found breeding at the colony.

At sea there are also New Zealand Sea Lions and Southern Right Whales. The site serves as a breeding centre for endangered birds and animals, and you can walk around large aviaries and even a night house to see captive kiwi. This is a good place to see the endangered and beautiful Yellowhead and the endemic Yellow-eyed Penguin.
