The penguins and staff were awesome, disappointing was the lack of respect people had in regards to the no photography policy.

Ticketing experience was good, I actually forgot my phone at my apartment but was still able to check-in, the staff was very friendly and understanding as I didn't have any confirmaiton on me.
Otherwise, the view was good and the penguins super cute

Seeing the wee penguin jn their natural habitat was so great. Learning about them and their breeding environment and hearing that the numbers of the penguin population is increasing.

My son was asking questions about the pingings and everything was answered with a lot of care. An amazing experience that everyone should do once in a lifetime 💙

Such a wonderful experience to see the penguins come out of the water and then up into the burrows. Simply a beautiful thing we have done as a family.

The low tide created a better experience where people sat close to the sides of the stand and on the sand. The weather was good. Overall we had a better viewing experience than previous visits. We had family visiting from Overseas who would spread a good word for the penguin parade experience.

The only problem with experience was that our sitting was next to the reserve sitting for the wildlife group who turned up late. The nation parks guide , Rosemary, talked throughout the presentation that was given by Sarah making it difficult for us to follow. Filling that idle chat continued throughout the evening handing out penguin jumpers and activity books. We have been on a number of trips where this is done before you are go into the event. In our opinion the guide should not have been talking whilst the guide for the event was speaking.

Ticketing was very easy. Everyone at the penguin parade is very helpful and courteous. It was a perfect weather night Always find it easy to walk around the gift shop and the displays Loved the movie about Philip Island. The walkways are very comfortable to walk on . Will be going back again.

Philip Island is absolutely gorgeous😍😍😍 I didn't expect that Penguin Parade would be the best experience. I ands my friends had so much fun and excitement watching and hunting Penguins 🐧🐧🐧 coming from 🌊 ocean. I will forever remember this experience.

I'm so glad we went and saw the penguins at Phillip Island and it's so popular, booking is an absolute must, as is wearing something warm. No photos do as not to frighten them and it's all about protecting the beautiful creatures and ensuring their continued safety. A fantastic experience booking through Head Out.

It was a fabulous experience watching the penguins come out of the surf and then waddle up the the hill to feed their chicks.
The ticketing experience was excellent.

My wife and went to see the penguin's Melbourne Cup long weekend we couldn't to much on the beach shore , definitely not 2004. But we saw more walking up the walk, that was much , much better, but it is a shame how some people treat them, people don't listen or they don't understand or they just don't care! Especially with cameras, but they are a cute little thing!

The Penguins 💖
Please Note - I understand the money paid assists with the wildlife, however it was extremely over crowded, which impacted greatly on the experience and had a noticeable impact on the Penguins themselves. Very commercialized.

Seeing the penguins. My family really enjoyed the experience - getting to see them coming out of the water and cautiously walking their way to their nest.
I only WISH we were allowed to take photos/videos of the penguins. I know the flash will distract or scare them off, but atleast we should be able to record them as long as we turn the flash off. It'll be a great thing for us to reminisce and share with out loved ones.

We loved watching the penguins coming up from the Ocean back to their burrows . The most disturbing part was the lack of respect the tourists have for the Parks staff and the penguins themselves. Taking photos with flashes after being told several times to put them away. Standing up and not taking any notice of rules. I think as humans we have / are interfering too much with the Penguin habitat and should limit the nights / amount of people aloud in one area. Quite sad to watch the penguins get scared to walk back into their own territory.

The ease of entry and the information provided was very good,overall the experience was far more enjoyable than we expected.We travelled down from Sydney to do this and we have not stopped recommending this to family and friends.
