Day Tour Options

Penguin Walk - Self Guided

During the day visitors have the opportunity to enter the breeding colony. Take a casual stroll around part of the colony, seeing the natural habitat of the penguins.’Information boards are placed around giving an insight into the life cycle of the penguins,and the monitoring programs we have here. If there are penguins resident in our daytime viewing facility, the 'Blue Wing', visitors will see penguins in their nest boxes. However penguins come and go naturally so we cannot guarantee birds will be seen during the day.  Our Penguin Walks are self-guided, however we do have a guide on hand to answer your questions. Penguin walks run during the day starting at 10am, ending approximately 60 minutes before dusk. Photography and filming without flash is allowed inside the colony but not in the Blue Wing.

Running time : 10-25 minutes approximately.

 Day Show - Guided tour.

This is a 20 minute long commentary, followed by an extended guided tour of the breeding colony. The longer track, further insight into the establishment of the colony, the anatomy of the penguins, and direct interaction with our science staff makes this a more comprehensive tour. Following the tour, you are then allowed to walk the self-guided track as well. These tours run on the hour between 10am and 4pm with the final tour starting one hour before evening viewing. Photography and filming without flash is allowed inside the colony but not in the Blue Wing.

Running time: 45 minutes approximately.
