Amazing experience to see the fairy penguins emerge from the sea to return to their nests and feed the juveniles.

We loved this tour! Our guide, Alex, was excellent. Very knowledgeable and passionate about the area and the native animals. We spent the perfect amount of time at each stop - we weren't rushed and had plenty of time to explore the area. The sanctuary and penguin parade were definitely the highlights. We did pay for the premium seating at the penguin parade, which I highly recommend. Great views watching the adorble little penguins waddle in. I highly recommend this tour!
Great views and animal encounters..

The Moonlight sanctuary was a great visit. I could have spent way more time there, feeding and petting the wildlife. The ride and views were great. I wish we'd bought the more expensive penguin March tickets. We did not see much from the general seating area. The tour guide,/van driver did a good job. I wish the sound system worked better as we had a hard time hearing and understanding him.
