Penguin Island offers several ways for visitors to see penguins, including taking a ferry from the mainland, paddling a canoe, or boating over. Once on the island, visitors can feed penguins at the Discovery Centre, take a glass bottom boat cruise, or simply observe the penguins. Ferry tickets range in price from $12-36.50 depending on included activities. The island has no food vendors, so visitors must bring a picnic or eat at the mainland cafe after returning on the ferry.

travel over there by yourself or with your
friends and family.
THE EXERCISE WAY: Hire a canoe and

behaviours, habitat and conservation of
these fascinating creatures. A fun and
interesting activity for students of all ages.
8. Star PENGUINS
Currently there are 10 little penguins that are the
star attractions at the Discovery Centre. The boss
of the group is Piggy (named for his healthy
appetite!) whose life long partner is Gerry (the
only female of the group). They are proud parents
to the youngest pair Nemo and Sassy. Jojo, Skip,
Lou, Peri, Pengu and Sedge make up the rest of
the group who have been badly injured, orphaned
as chicks or born in captivity - it is unlikely that
they would survive in the wild. So come and give
them some love.
