Wonderful to be able to walk among the penguins!!
I went on this excursion with a group but each one buying their ticket could start walking the 1.5 kilometers to the sea out and then back. Each to his own tune. During the journey they can be seen nesting some penguins..others cross walking. Others are asleep. It's wonderful to be able to enjoy this. It is recommended not to touch them as they can bite and have many lice. Then to see them come in or be near the sea is very beautiful too. A worthwhile experience. Then you can eat something right there at affordable prices. And take some souvenier.

We got to get so close with the Penguins and see them in their natural habitat. It was amazing to see that many penguins. Nacho was a fantastic tour guide. He gave us all the background we needed on the penguins themselves and we felt prepared to interact with them and understand when to give them space. The only reason I didn’t want to give it five stars is that the description said we would have the option of choosing the museum or welsh tea service and we could decide on the day of. We learned the evening before that was not the case and the only option was the museum. Unfortunately, this was after we had went to the museum on our own.
