Curio B.
Curio Bay in the South Island is one of the few places in the world where hershey dolphins can be seen.
There are many kinds of dolphins living in New Zealand waters, about 13 species. Hershey dolphin in Curry Bay is a unique species in New Zealand waters and one of the rarest and smallest dolphin in the world. The largest adult dolphin is only 1.5m long.
Walking to the seaside, it is easy to find hershey dolphins queuing for fishing. These dolphins are only 1.5 meters long, very cute, and they are a unique scenery along the coast. Hector's dolphins can be seen on the beach almost every day.
The unusual underwater environment in curio Bay has created an ideal habitat for Hertz dolphins. On the other side of the sea is the cold South Pole, where ocean currents meet. This causes nutrients to be taken away from the deep sea, which helps to provide food for small plankton, krill and dolphins. Watching whales in the antique city is an experience you can't miss.
At the same time, Gufeng Bay is a very magical place, and the fossil forest here can be traced back to the Jurassic period. About1.800 million years ago, there were tree fossils in the forest. At that time, New Zealand was only a part of Gondwana, a supercontinent.
At low tide, you can walk to the reef to watch this fossil forest.
There are three kinds of penguins in New Zealand. Curio Bay is a habitat reserve for yellow-eyed penguins, a unique New Zealand species.
These lovely birds are very cute, because their calls are very special and they are nicknamed "hoiho". Yellow-eyed penguins are named after the beautiful yellow edges around their yellow eyes. When they walk awkwardly, they make people laugh like self-righteous little people.
Penguins are timid. They are afraid of natural enemies. They usually come out of the water at night and then return to their nests.
Curry Penguin Reserve has a special observation deck, which can be watched from the sky or sitting on the reef by the sea, all of which are free.

Cape Nugate was kissed by a seal on the rock.
The Nugget Point is a steep headland with a lighthouse and many scattered rocky islands. A 5-minute walk from Cape Nugat to the lighthouse allows you to enjoy the rugged coastline along the way.
The nugget spot is the most attractive place for seals. Looking down from the lighthouse, a large group of seals basked in the sun on the hard rocks on the sea surface and even kissed in public without shyness. Or swim and play among the rocks and enjoy a lazy and comfortable time.
Cape Nugate is also home to sea lions, grey gulls, egrets, yellow-eyed penguins, spoonbills and gannets. Walruses and leopard seals come here occasionally.
Early morning and sunset are the best time to see Cape Nugate, which is very suitable for walking and meeting penguins and sea lions.
Tips:
The color of the seal is very similar to the color of the rock, so it needs to be carefully distinguished.
It's best to bring binoculars so that you can observe the seal lions living here at close range.
