The primary difference between Penguin Plus and General Viewing at the Phillip Island Penguin Parade lies in the viewing experience. 

 

Penguin Plus offers a more intimate and elevated experience with a smaller, dedicated platform closer to the penguin pathways and a less crowded atmosphere, while General Viewing provides tiered seating in a larger grandstand area with a broader view of the beach

 

With Penguin Plus, you get a different view from the general seating. You will be on a platform that blends in with the natural elements. This platform is also closer to the penguin’s path as they waddle up the beach towards their burrows.
