“Had a great day with Michael as our guide. He was enthusiastic and kept the day running smoothly. Penguins were so cute!! Allow yourself time to wander along the boardwalk after the penguins start to come up. Only negative was that we were in the last seats on the bus and the seats in front of us were permanently reclined so we had no room for our knees.”
