【推荐3】Kangaroo Island Penguin Centre at Kingscote offers so much more than just a chance to see the inhabitants of the local penguin colony(领地)where they live.

When you join us for guided tours of both the Little Penguin Colony and our Saltwater Aquariums, you'll begin to understand that the heart of our business is supporting, protecting and caring for the penguins and sharing our fascination with Kangaroo Island's sea creatures so our visitors can understand the importance of caring for the ocean's complex wildlife.

Best Time to Visit the Kingscote Penguin Colony

The best time to visit our colony is between April and November when Kingscote's penguins are concentrating on building their homes and families. During these months, penguins are either nest building, laying eggs or raising chicks.

Don't Let the Moon Spoil Your Penguin Viewing

If you are able to plan your penguin tour so that you don't come on a moonlit night, you'll be much more likely to see penguins on the Kingscote foreshore. Little penguins all over Australia become very quiet on land when the moon is bright. No matter the time of year, moonlit nights mean calm waters and penguins are likely to stay feeding out at sea when they occur.
