Had an excellent time. Saw so many adorable penguins and other cool wildlife. Raquel was an amazing and fun guide. This tour was much better and more convenient than driving out there from Melbourne ourselves.

This was a great day out, with lots of stupid during the day at Brighton Beach Huts, a wildlife sanctuary (what you can pay a koala at extra cost), a surf beach, a coastal board walk and if course the amazing Penguin experience. See load of penguins and walked back up to the main visitor center with penguins walking about 1 metre away from me. Chris, our driver and tour guide, was amazing.

Tour guide Bluey was excellent. Penguin experience was good fun. Wear warm clothes, something to sit on beach and depending on penguins you may see many or just a few. Binnoculars would be a good idea too.
