“A great tour to see penguin and seal islands and explore penguin Island on foot. Because it is windy and a but rainy the cruise was not on the glass bottom boat and we didn't see any dolphins but it's still very worthwhile to go see all the other wildlife. The walking tour was only ok, it's probably just as good exploring on your own.”
