The ticketing experience was very disappointing I had so much trouble trying to downsize my group booking . It took so long to get any real answers & help as AI didn't understand my request. It was very frustrating and took so long to get answers that we ran out of time . The real person was very helpful explaining , however it was too late to change the booking by the time I got any sense in how to do it. Not her fault .. the company needs to improve their website re:!ticket changing and refunds.. I was frustrated and annoyed with the whole process ....but we did have a good trip even though the weather wasn't the best.

Both the Penguin Parade and the cruise were very good -- well organised, very well informed, and with friendly and competent staff. We enjoyed the information shared by the staff, seeing the penguins, and being out on the boat (and on a sunny morning).

I really enjoyed being out on the water, seeing the penguins. I thought the staff working both venues were amazing! So kind, welcoming and handled difficult people really well

    Cruise was alright but the highlight for me was the penguin parade it was adorable to see little penguins waddle towards their nest and headout app was really easy to use just needed to show the barcode to the staff!

    We had a great experience. The one hour cruise was amazing. Our stay should have been longer.
