This was an amazing tour and you really got to see the penguins up close. Our tour guide Aaron had to fill in last minute for another tour guide who was sick, and Aaron was an amazing guide. Extremely enthusiastic, he gave excellent advice how to best view the penguins from which points on the boardwalk. During the drive over there he had a lot of information about the indigenous people of Australia, which was really insightful. He watches the road carefully and also takes his time to explain things. His enthusiasm about the penguins sparked even more enthusiasm in me for the penguins, which made it an experience I hope I never forget.Bhaavyaone
