Yup, we were able to approach the animals within a certain distance (I think 5 meters from penguins and 10 meters from seals). However if we sat down the penguins would walk up closer to you and that was "allowed".

At one point I sat down on a rock and three penguins came up to me -- no more than a foot away!
