Guided Penguin Tour - GINP03 The ever-popular Guided Penguin Walks continue to be a favourite with visitors to this area. The tour commences at dusk every night. Participants then form small groups and accompany a professionally trained guide to view the 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 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. Operates: Daily at dusk.
