We took our kids on the Montague Island penguin tour and WOW! This was the experience of a life time! I was nervous taking my kids on a boat but our crew Georgia and Adam were so professional.

The penguin parade was also a bit underwhelming. We only saw 6 or 7 penguins, not really a parade. As I said, overall we enjoyed it but it was a more of a wildlife trip (mainly birds and seals) with a fun boat trip back in the...
