We had a lot of fun on this trip! There was so much packed in a day but it didn’t feel too rushed, we had ample time to do everything. The penguin parade was the highlight, a definite must see! Gavin is a great host, knowledgeable and funny and showed us the best spots to spot the penguins. Will definitely recommend 💯
