The crowd management wasn't the best given too many ppl were standing and taking flash photography and spoiling the view and the experience for others. While it's appreciated there is limited control that could be exercised some enforcement is required.

The viewing platforms and boardwalks provide excellent opportunities to see the penguins up close without disturbing them. Knowledgeable staff and informative displays at the visitor centre add to the experience by explaining the penguins’ behaviour, conservation efforts, and the importance of preserving their environment. One of the highlights is the peaceful atmosphere as dusk falls and the penguins make their way home after a day of fishing. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic Australian wildlife experience.

The Penguin Parade was the highlight of our holiday. The staff were very knowledgeable and shared information about the penguins, what to expect and took the time to answer questions. We were so close to the sand and the magic of watching the tiny little penguins waddle up the beach together was just magical. I love that all the money goes back into protecting the environment of the island as well as research. It is a truly wonderful experience and one of the best eco tourism experiences around.

Loved seeing the penguins and hearing all about them by the knowledgeable rangers. It was a magical experience and despite the rain we had a good sense of humour and just lapped it all up. The rangers were so friendly and welcoming. We felt so comfortable and at ease. Omgosh the penguins were by far the highlight. Sweet little things that they are - and there were so many to see. Definitely a must see, even if you've been before.

Totally worth to see the penguin returning from the sea. They are so cute trying to be brave to get our from the water. On the way walking back, there were chances to watch penguin in such a short distance. The night was clear and we saw the whole galaxy on the sky which is very amazing. For the whale watching, we were lucky to see several tail flipping in a distance. Good weather made it lovely.

Despite the Winter weather it was a once in a lifetime experience. The staff were really knowledgable on the Penguins which is great. The area itself is well maintained and perfectly set up for viewing, while at the same time protecting the Penguins and other local wild life. There is ample parking and plenty of road signs to guide you to the location.

It was very wet and cold but the entry was smooth and swift. Coats and poncho on we headed off to watch the little cuties come to the sands. The rain stopped but we were disappointed that certain groups of people were standing in front of everyone - despite the lovely guides telling them to sit down 100 times -when they stood in front of the children that were sitting and doing the correct thing Our family told them to get to the back or get out and they went away. Besides that the guides were friendly and informative. I had not been since i was in school which was a long time ago and we enjoyed our time there.

Such a beautiful experience. My grandchildren absolutely loved seeing the penguins. The workers were so informative & their knowledge was so good. We will definitely be coming back maybe in the summertime when it's not so cold ☺️
