Whale Island

On our way home from Gisborne we stopped over-night in Whakatane with the Clarks. The next morning, on the Monday we all went on a boat trip to Whale Island. Now that was a disappointment. We were expecting a tour of the island showing many different animal/birds/creatures.  What we saw was a dead baby penguin, the skin from dead lizards, I was the only one to see two flying parrots. Foot steps of a Kiwi. We heard one Tui and saw lots and lots of Sadlebacks, which actually was the highlight of the tour for me.
I think everyone else was a bit bored.

The boat ride was fun.
