β β β β β Lovely place to stay,always full, quite close together,very clean facilities,added bonus-listening to the penguins go out to sea at 5am from their nest under the kitchen.
Penguins come ashore right outside the camp,but you have to be quiet or they go straight back

β β β β β A good place to observe penguins walking around the camp site and the beach.
Shower and Kitchen facilities is limited so guests have to queue up. They are clean after all.
We checked in at 7pm following the instructions in front of the office. No problem with late check in.

β β β β β We had the pleasure of staying at Harbour Tourist Park for two nights and it was amazing!
Zina, who runs the park, is an angel in disguise! This woman cares so deeply for the penguins in the area. While it's not part of her job description, shes out at the boat dock every single night to make sure the penguins crossing into the park are protected from the swarms of people trying to get that perfect photo. She is the most patient person I have ever met because This was absolutely frustrating for us to watch.
Very simple rules when it comes to viewing the Penguins (which appeared to be impossible to follow for some)
1. KEEP YOUR DISTANCE
2. LISTEN TO HER WHEN SHE TELLS YOU TO STAND OUT OF THEIR WAY
3. NO FLASH WHEN TAKING PHOTOS
4. BE QUIET
I can't stress this enough. PLEASE be respectful of these beautiful creature if you are visiting this park and listen to the direction of the staff.
Great work Zena! You are absolutely amazing!!
