Arriving early we managed to sneak in a quick boardwalk stroll at Nobbies centre which is absolutely stunning. Our dinner at the penguins parade centre was enjoyable and provided us with enough stamina for the night even a glass of wine. Lining up for the penguins was simple and smooth sailing with a n ie amble along the boardwalk to the viewing area. We brought a blanket to sit in the sand for a prime viewing spot. The penguins are adorable and there is plenty of time to watch them come ashore and then have a lovely stroll under the stars as they make there way to their burrows and observe them in their natural habitat. So important for tourist to follow directions and help fund the conservation of these gorgeous fairy penguins. Highly recommend.

The joy of seeing the penguins was great, however the behaviour of the general public was disappointing. I realise that this is generally out of your control, there needs to be some thought in better guidance to visitors and their behaviour. There also needs to be a time frame before people can leave, as this causes disruption to others wanting to remain. It was also disappointing to see so much rubbish left lying around, my brother tried his best to carry some rubbish,, but this is something you have no control of. Currently not sure if I will be back, or encourage people to go.

The staff were super friendly and informative and had a real passion for the penguins. We also had a lovely chat with a team member about the bandicoot we saw and received loads of information about them. The downloadable photos and videos are a great idea as you can't take your own I thought that was a nice touch. So much care is taken to look after the penguins and make sure they feel safe while arriving, it was really special to see. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit!

    It was a great experience. I will recommend everyone one. Try to purchase premium one to have a much closer look because these penguins are very small.

    We arrived early to check out the Penguin center and not feel rushed heading out on the boardwalk. The staff were very helpful answering our questions and giving us tips about viewing the penguins. I love the boardwalk and the close views of the penguins as we walked back to the center at night. A gorgeous view of the Milky Way topped it all off. A great night!
