It was truly a dream come true. Sue & Pip the park rangers really looked after us well, ensuring that we saw the penguins up close. Watching the little penguins come out of the water at sundown in groups of 30, 40 & 50 & waddling up the beach was a sight to behold. An experience not to be missed....can't recommend it enough

It's a unique experience for sure and it was very special watching the wee guys gather together n make their way up the beach....hoping the seagulls wouldn't attack them. However, I would advise anyone going to wrap up warm as it was pretty chilly. We all loved the experience

    The penguins were great. The guides were great. The foreigners kept disobeying the rules...not sitting down and always using their phone

    We absolutely loved where we were sitting. The penguins came out straight in front of us and it was awesome. Loved seeing them swim in and wait for their friends to come join them before they headed up the beach.
