Absolutely enjoyed it. I would leave at least 30 min prior to the event starting to attempt to get a good viewing point. It was awesome seeing the penguins come from the beach and up to their burrows. This time of year, the penguins are getting ready for the breeding season so it made it interesting for the fun cooing sounds the little ones made. Just too cool.

Its a rather long drive from Melbourne CBD but its definitely worth it! Seeing so many penguins at the beautiful Philip island is amazing! Awesome scene and very very cold breeze! Abundant parking. Bear in mind, these penguins come in groups of 2-3 at a time, not hundreds together. While you are they, remember to sit at the lower corners. Best view!

We visited twice and it is great. Love to go back again. Prices are very reasonable in gift shop as well as the entrance tickets. Worth for what we spend. 😊 Better if you can keep the crowd seated until the penguins come to the shore. When the penguins start to come the crowd start to move from the seating area and others can't enjoy. 🤔

We chose the Ultimate Adventure Tour and it was sensational. Informative filled adventure that took you outside of a way of thinking penguins were just cute. These animals are highly intelligent with personality. Highly recommend
