Great Tour and very knowledgeable staff. If going in winter, wear many jumpers though!

Expecting to see penguins with the kids but only saw Island full of seagulls and a few sea lions and other birds.

It was a nice experience when we could observe quite a number of seal lions sun bathing on the Seal Island... we could see a few penguins but not as many as I expected.
