"Amazing experience, although it gets really cold. The time the penguins come up to shore varies from 5-6pm in winter till as late as 8pm in summer. No idea why no photos or videos (even without flash) is not allowed at all. Apparently photons entering a camera's CMOS sensor will hurt a penguin's eyes, but the bright lights all under the broadwalk are okay? If this is the case, Phillip Island should do more to educate all the zoologists in other countries. It is really tragic when I think of all the blind penguins in zoos worldwide..."
"Can’t take your own photos of penguins as it hurts their eyes. But rangers were very knowledgeable and penguins so cute!! Can sit up close to the penguins to see them anyway. Penguins romancing each other after they come ashore was so funny! Big line ups so buy tickets in advance."
"Best viewing spot for watching the penguins arriving from sea and marching back to their homes along the rocks on the shore. The Penguin highway starts here. Great views."
"Definitely worth paying extra for the penguin plus experience! Staff were so lovely and had a lot of knowledge about the penguins and their behaviours. Able to see so many penguins come out of the water and waddle to their babies in the burrows."
"Fabulous! A must do when on Phillip Island. Totally awesome wildlife experience. Dress really warm, gloves,hat,scarf etc. Take an extra little rug if you can. The action does not start until dark so temperatures have dropped by then. 5.45pm for us in late May. (Best advice we were given). If anyone you know posts photo's of penguins...growl at them as we were clearly told it frightens the gorgeous little penguins & can send them back to sea before they have rested!!!"
