Up close after dark

Grab your puffer jacket – it’s worth bracing the evening chill to welcome the world’s smallest penguins as they head to their burrows. The purpose-built viewing platform is illuminated with special red lighting designed not to disturb these delightful locals. Leave your cameras, torches and loud voices behind as bright lights and noise will frighten and disorientate Fairy Penguins. September to March rewards with the best penguin numbers. The platform is wheelchair and pram accessible.
