Sharon E. 2016-06-12We opted for the premium seats to get the best view and weren't disappointed. There's an interesting commentary whilst you wait for the Blue Penguins...
Carol D. 2016-06-10It's well worth paying the little extra to be closer to the Penguins as they come ashore, loved every minute. Make sure you wrap up warm as it can...

Belen C. 2016-07-21Preciosos pingüinos azules, son únicos, muy pequeños, es gracioso ver como vuelven a sus casitas
Edmond T. 2016-07-18The penguin watching organized by the Colony is superb. I support their work on the protection of the little penguins. Keep it up.
Carol M. 2016-06-11What a total rip-off! This place is not about protecting the species in a natural environment it is about making lots of money!
Mark P. 2016-06-09Excellent way to see the little ones, make sure you spring for the "Premium" tickets people, it's a much better experience
Deniese T. 2016-05-27Einfach toll wie sich die Menschen dort um die süßen kleinen Pinguine kümmern ❤️
Andy B. 2016-01-21What a great project and wonderful staff - friendly and knowledgable. Worth every penny for the experience and good to know that the money paid goes...
Zhi W. 2016-01-18不值得去, 酒店都订满了,在当地夏天也只有十几度, 夜晚吹着刺骨的寒风, 等待着归巢的企鹅, 住宿只有notel.
