Accessing our Penguin Viewing Platform
A 4-minute walk from the Royal Albatross Centre down to our viewing platform. The walk involves a gravel path before joining a boardwalk that has over 30 steps in built into it. The three photos below show the location of the platform to the Royal Albatross Centre building above, The Gravel Path and the boardwalk with stairs.
The Platform is open during the day, but no penguins can be seen then. During the day the birds are out at sea feeding returning to land as night approaches.
The reserve and platform are closed at night (and are only accessible on our guided tour) to help protect the wildlife.
