• In order to sight the penguins from shore it is necessary to walk around 1,500 feet on the beach, so we recommend wearing appropriate footwear.
• Penguin sightings from the shore are most common during the summer months of November to March. During these months there are several hundred penguins on the island. Between April and October, the penguin population reduces to only a dozen or so. Therefore, please be aware that during these months it may not be possible to see the penguins from the shore. You will have the option of taking a one-hour private boat ride around the island – weather permitting – for closer viewing of the penguins. Please note your interest in taking this optional boat ride when you complete the reservation form.
• The boat ride option is not recommended for those guests prone to sea sickness.
