Hot Tip
A helpful tip from others who have taken the tour is to bring a warm jacket, even in summer, as it can get chilly by the ocean while waiting for the penguins to arrive. Also, arrive early at the Penguin Parade to secure a good viewing spot. Some reviewers say the VIP option is worth it to get closer to the penguins. Remember not to use flash photography as it can scare the penguins!
