Low Head Penguin Evening Tour
Highlights
- Experience the enchanting sight of Fairy Penguins returning from Bass Strait to nest in Low Head Coastal Reserve.
- Observe the smallest penguin species up close as they waddle along the beach in their natural habitat.
- Capture unforgettable moments with your camera while enjoying a fully guided tour of Tasmania's largest penguin rookery.
- Dress warmly and wear sturdy shoes for a comfortable evening adventure watching these unique creatures in their element.
The Fairy Penguins found in Tasmania are the smallest of the penguin species, the noisiest, and also the only penguins with blue and white feathers.
Low Head Penguin Tours offer a unique nature experience to get up close and personal with our penguins as they return from the pristine waters of Bass Straight to nest in their burrows within the Low Head Coastal Reserve. This Reserve has the largest penguin rookery in Tasmania, and we have penguins returning every night throughout the year.
Watch them swim to the surface, stand up and preen themselves before waddling up the beach. The penguin viewing is fully guided and takes approximately one hour, and including transfers to/from Launceston you need to allow 3.5 hours.
You are welcome to bring a camera to capture your experience, but no flash photography is permitted. As it gets cool at night please wear warm clothes and wear sturdy shoes (sports shoes are ok).
Please check website for availability. Dates that are showing not available may still be possible on request – contact tours@coachtourstasmania.com.au
