Fantastic experience - our third time! Great to see the penguins coming ashore to find their chicks! Unforgettable. And thank you to our excellent guide!

Amazing experience! We were hoping for 1 penguin but spotted around 15 and some chunky chicks too!
Definitely do this tour. The info is so well presented, and you get to learn so much about these beautiful little penguins! I'm so happy we did this, it was my first time seeing penguins in the wild!

Animated staff, saw a few penguins and babies, apparently the right time of year for it, tprches continually turned off. Took a 5 year old and the walk was challenging, ended up carrying her on the way back. Public toilets near by, some activities for kids inside the penguin center. Plenty of parking.

A visit to this tour on Kangaroo Island is an absolute must! The center and tour were incredibly well-organized, and the guided walk with red-light flashlights along the rocky coast was a highlight. We spotted numerous penguins and heard even more, thanks to our expert guide. This experience was a real hit, and we can't wait to return.

It was a great experience. We sighted many little penguins during the tour plus some guest appearances of little wallabies.

The penneshaw penguin tour was great. After a short informative video we walked to find the little penguins and we were very fortunate to see 6. It was a wonderful experience and we were so glad to have had the opportunity.

We had a great time. Saw adult penguins and chicks throughout the tour. Plenty of good information and a good vibe for asking questions.

A must-see on any trip to KI! The center and the following tour was fantastic and well organized. We went out with red-light flashlights on a set walk of the rocky coast surrounding Penneshaw. We saw at least a dozen penguins, and heard even more. Wonderfully led. A real hit! We’ll be back, thank you!

It was nice, we saw more wallabies than penguins, however December is apparently a more challenging time for a good turnout. Still a nice time, but if you're limited with your money, then look up the better and worse months to go penguin spotting.

Our group was a little disappointed with the experience, quite pricey for what was offered, plus booking fees. Tour guide was on her phone a lot and told us to tell her if we spotted any penguins. Not many torches provided and ones we did receive went flat half way through the tour. I understand we may not see penguins but I’m not sure what the $25 is going towards? Guide also mentioned we should not be interacting with the penguins, so why have a tour going?

Loved the tour with Alana from Penneshaw Penguin Centre.
Kid friendly with lots of great educational resources at the centre! Provided us with red torches & rain coats.
Highly recommend - our family won’t forget the magical tour viewing the little penguins!

Guide was friendly, informative and was excited to look for and locate the little penguins. We did see penguins and our guide provided interesting information on the past, present and future of these glorious little creatures.
