Go there, spend a day, just looking at the king penguins as they huddle and as they walk across the beach. It's breezy, and the journey there is a challenge (which is fun), but it is well worth it.

Amazing penguins...gentoos, kings and magellanic. The beach is also utterly beautiful and it's great to watch the penguins in their natural environment. Proper off road, (ie no roads) driving to get there so don't go alone / without someone who knows how to get there. A must do, although beware the wind, which can be strong and cold. Fine if... More

Patrick Watt's team made the day for us. Lunch supplied was different but good. The penguins were unforgettable. If you sat down and waited the penguins actually walked up to you to inspect you. I got some excellent pictures as a result. We had gone to the Otway Reserve before, but seeing the King penguins here was a real highlight.... More

Day trips arrive mid-day when much of the wildlife is gone and the light for photography is poor. Staying over night was the perfect way... More

The wildlife is fantastic - amazing to get close to the Kings and Gentoos.

It cost me £15 entry which is a lot for a nature reserve but their overheads will be much larger than elsewhere. It is... More

We took an excursion with Patrick Watts while on a cruise on Star Princess. It was $100 less than the Princess tour. There were about 10 vehicles in our caravan. It was a 2.5 hour drive thru very interesting terrain. When you arrive at the point you just walk 20 yards and you are in a group of King penguins.... More

This is one of the best excursions we have every taken. We were on a South America/Antarctica cruise and had a port stop in Stanley. We booked our tour to Volunteer Point months in advance with Patrick Watts...and independent tour operator. He has several drivers who are part of his team and each 4 x4 can carry 4 passengers. It...

We were on a cruise and booked a tour with Diver to Volunteer Point. It was fantastic. There were only about 20 tourists - so no crowds. We walked among the King Penguins & the Magellian Penguins. An awesome experience, one we will never forget. Diver was fantastic.
