This was a great experience. Our guide, Czwe, was very knowledgeable and helpful. I would highly recommend requesting Czwe as your guide for this adventure or other adventures provided by this company.
We required a shorter duration tour to see the penguins on the morning of our flight home. This tour was perfect - including the overlook drive and the penguins...but note, it was more like 3 - 3.5 hours - not the advertised 2 hours. It is 1 hour drive each way from Seapoint to Boulders Bay! The time spent at the penguins was at our discretion, but we kept it brief due to our timeline. We were also contacted by the tour operator about 18 hours prior to the start of our tour and asked to move our tour from 9am to 11am, but they quickly made arrangements for the 9am tour as booked when we explained we had a flight. Czwe was a great driver and pleasure to talk to during our drive.
