The mud pools are good, but the geyser is a fake, and this should not be promoted as a real geyser, as it's not a naturally occurring one.This detracts from the rest of the park.

We took the Nature Cruise thinking that it would be different, but it took the same route as the other boats.
The nature guide seemed bored with it all and spent too much time in with the captain. Perfect weather, beautiful scenery and we saw seals.

We had an excellent tour, seeing 5 penguins on the beach, great views of a lone juvenile, young which had been fed, a baby being fed, and an adult swimming on the small lake.
The "baby" which was fully-grown was sticking it's head inside the hide! We had a great tour and would recommend this to any bird-watcher. The time of day was 6pm which apparently is a good time for viewing.
