It's a couple of hours drive to Penguin Island but well worth it to see the little penguins parade across the beach to their nests. We were amazed how close we got to the penguins as there were board walks across the dunes, where the penguins nested.

We could watch penguins any day and the bus was quite comfortable.

It was an amazing experience where you are able to get to such a close contact with the little penguins, and you are also able to see a part of a little penguin's life that nobody realises happens unless they see it for themselves!

Enjoyed it. It was fascinating watching the penguins making their way from the sea to their burrows.

The penguins were great. I would recommend staying on the walking platform to get a closer view of the penguins.

Its worth to upgrade to premium seating as those penguins smallest breed are too small to see at dark and from the distance. Don't sit too long in the bench, its better to walk side-by-side with them as they return to their burrows and see them up closed and personal.

I definitely think the Penguin Parade was worth going to. I enjoyed seeing them. The only problem was it felt like I was paying for the bus ride. It took 2 hours one way, and we only got to spend 2 hours at the Penguin Parade.

We were a party of 3 and our unanimous opinion was that of total dissatisfaction with this tour. It is definitely an over-sell and over-promotion of this tour. We were told by the driver that the journey is usually 90km but he was taking the longer route. It was freezing on that date and even the coffee counter was a disaster -1 person at the counter tending to several bus loads. The penguins were a joke - 36 cms -- we could not even see them - a TV show would have served a better purpose. I would not recommend this tour to anyone. A thorough waste of 9hrs whilst in Melbourne -time better spent at a museum.

We were picked up at 4pm for the evening tour and arrived at the penguins at 7.30pm. It was raining but not cold which rather spoilt the evening. It was also disappointing that we only had 45 minutes watching the penguins followed by a another 3.5 hour journey back to the hotel. I would rather have spent the time and money on a different trip. The penguins were very sweet but the expense and time were not really worth it.
