Seeing these beauties so close was amazing 👏 Frustrating that people don't abide by the rules, regulations and are disrespectful with not taking pictures. thanks for the bar code 📸

It was overall great. The guides were great and more than patient with all the people not following the guidance which would drive me nuts. Next time I would do the VIP experience.

I had the wonderful opportunity to visit the Penguin Parade, and it was truly a magical experience to watch these little penguins return to shore at sunset. It's so beautiful, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and the guides do an excellent job of explaining the importance of protecting the penguins and their habitat. One downside, however, was that many visitors unfortunately ignored the clear rules about not taking photos or videos, despite repeated reminders from the guides. This was disappointing to see. I hope future visitors will respect the rules, allowing everyone to enjoy the parade while ensuring the safety and well-being of these amazing animals. Overall, it’s an unforgettable experience that I would still highly recommend to anyone who loves wildlife.

There were a lot of visitors as expected and overall people did out their phones away as requested by the guides but there will always be the annoying few who have FOMO and use theor phones to take videos and photos, spoiling the experience for others sitting near them. I could barely see the penguins as they came ashore, but managed to see some in their burrows ok the walk back to the main hall. I enjoyed the experience as I knew that my purchasing a ticket would go towards supporting the sanctuary and its inhabitants.

consideration for people that may find it to sit or get up after sitting down especially in the cold
