First, it is based on instinct. Second, they go far inland, so they can protect their hatchlings from preditors. There is safety in numbers.

Have you seen the movie? Penguins live on the water's edge so they can get fish. They have to make the march inland because of the amount of time that it takes the eggs to hatch. By the time the eggs hatch, the ice has melted to the point that the nests are near the water's edge. If they didn't make the march, the nesting area would be melted away.

That is how they have learned and evolved to survive. They're pretty easy pickings for their predators.
