We have probably been here 5 times but Im sure there will be more to come. We enjoy bringing our guests from overseas here. Funnily enough it doesnt really get boring watching the penguins parading back to their home despite all our visits.
I feel that general admin ticket is more than sufficient as we have a view of the entire beach, and we still have the opportunity to get close up with the penguins along the boardwalks. If youre lucky you can sometimes even see seals near the shoreline too. Apparently they come in to play with the Penguins!
Dont forget to bring a jacket as it can get a cold down here (youre completely exposed to the ocean). Also, while youre down here dont forget to check out the Nobbies beforehand. Its boardwalk offers some with beautiful scenery, and if you look carefully you may be able to spot some young penguins nesting under the boardwalks as they wait for their parents to come hoe.
