They still march right past the visitors in the park and it would be possible to reach out and touch the little penguins but people respectfully let them pass by on the trail. The boardwalks that are now in place allow visitors to walk along beside the penguins. Phillip Island Nature Parks manages the daily penguin parade. All revenue generated from the Penguin Parade re-invested into research, environment and education projects to protect the little penguins. I strongly recommend making the trek to visit these sweet creatures. Their strength, determination and adaptation (they used to have wings) is inspiring.
