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.

Great experience and very informative information centre before the parade. Remember to dress warmly, even if it’s been a hot day. Sitting on a bench in the breeze by the beach gets quite chilly after an hour or so. The penguins are very cute and stream across the beach once it’s dark enough for them,

  • Take a stroll on the beachside boardwalks to get up close to the penguins
  • Find out more about the Phillip Island penguin population at the Visitor Center
