The penguins were really cute!
Smooth and hassle free - just turn up with the vouchers
Awesome Service and experience.
Really enjoyed the experience overall for my family.
Smooth purchase, happy that there are dedicated rangers taking care of the nature at Cowes, managed to see small clusters of penguins appearing from the waters, waiting for each other and marching home together from the beach and along the broadway.
Amazing experience. 2000 little penguin marched up in small clusters. The whole event was very organized. No need to buy more expensive tickets if you arrive early and get seated an hour before the anticipated parade. The time is posted each day.
