Granite Island Nature Park - Guided Penguin Tours
The ever-popular Guided Penguin Walks continue to be a favourite with visitors to Victor Harbor.
The tours commence at dusk every night, and begin with a viewing of the Penguin Centre. Participants then form small groups and accompany a professionally trained guide to view the penguins as they come ashore after a day of fishing.
The penguin’s make they’re way to their burrows where they can be seen displaying various behaviours, depending on the time of year. These behaviours may include feeding chicks, nest building, courting and mating.
Guides will interpret the biology, ecology, behaviours and adaptations of these charismatic creatures.
The tour is a comprehensive and enjoyable nature experience. Participants meander through the penguin colony on Granite Island with a guide to view the Little Penguins as they come ashore after a days fishing. The penguins make their way to their burrows where they can be seen displaying various behaviours, depending on the season. These behaviours may include, feeding chicks, nest building courting, mating.
A professionally trained guide will take visitors to view the penguins in their natural habitat and interpret the biology, ecology, behaviours and adaptations of these charismatic creatures. Scientific research measuring the health of the colony and environmental management strategies implemented to benefit the penguins is interpreted to tour participants, which adds interest to the tour.
