Storm Bay Lookout
#australiatrip Definitely worth the walk, especially if you’re going to Pyramid Rock, which looks more like a pyramid from this lookout than at the Pyramid Rock Lookout itself. Red Bluff is to your right, with the Red Bluff Lookout up further along the pathways. A great place for sightseeing, picnic and travels with friends. Worth the visit in this place🙂 Love it!

Getting There - It is a 1.5-2 hour drive from victoria.
Attractions - There’s a chocolate factory en-route to the island + other attractions (theres 2 lookouts that you can checkout around the area+ kola bears reserve)
Hotels - Accommodation is pretty pricy due to it being a tourist attraction so you might want to make it a day trip there instead.
Food & Restaurants - My family and i brought our own home make meals for lunch and stopped by some random restaurant on the island for dinner (it wasn’t very expensive— just local prices)
Shopping- There isnt much luxury shopping around, just grocers and local shops around the island. We stopped by a local thrift store and got a good haul.
The penguin parade was really cute especially when you see them swimming up to the shore and making their way to the burrow.
Do take note:
1. It is insanely crowded especially in the general viewing ticket section. Kids & parents are fighting for the best views at the front.
2. Seating arrangement for general viewing is first-come-first-serve. So be there early to chope your place.
3. The park rangers are very strict on taking photos and flash. They would remove you immediately if you are caught with just having your phone out during the parade.
4. A trick we found during our trip is, midway through the parade, you can go to the walk ways and see the little penguins waiting for their parents. So don’t just sit there and watch from afar, go and walk around the planks and spot the babies waiting in the bushes and see the parents waddle their way.
5. Theres a season for the parade so do check it out when you plan your trip.
6. Theres a credit card charge if you pay by foreign card so if you can pay by cash.
ps: there isnt much penguin photo due to rules and regulations but i was way too excited for them.
