Witness the mesmerizing sight of hundreds of little penguins as they march along the Penguin Parade from the ocean to their homes on the soft sand. Your three-hour excursion begins with a drive from the jetty to Summerland Beach at the island's southwestern corner. As soon as you arrive at you'll disembark for a self-guided tour of the Visitor Center where you'll learn about the island's wildlife through a series of interactive and educational displays. Next, guides will escort you down the Penguin Parade boardwalks through the penguin colony to the beach or to tiered viewing stands. Then, as the sun slowly sets, a hush falls over the crowds as hundreds of little penguins waddle up the beach to the safety of their homes. With this adventure crossed off your bucket list, you'll return to the pier enlightened and charmed by this unforgettable experience.
