Sunset Penguin Cruise

Williamstown, Victoria

The St Kilda breakwater is home to nearly 1,500 Little Penguins. Each night, after a big day of fishing, rafts of these incredible little creatures swim back home, climb up onto the rockwall, and nestle in their burrows for the night. Come aboard the St Kilda Ferry Sunset Penguin Cruise, and witness this magical experience with commentary from knowledgeable crew. Enjoy this with the breathtaking backdrop of the sun setting over Port Phillip Bay - most definitely something to write home about! St Kilda Ferry Sunset Penguin Cruises depart from St Kilda Pier approximately 15 minutes before sunset. Alternatively, there is the option for pick up/drop off at Gem Pier Williamstown. Cruise departure times and days vary depending on the season and weather conditions. Be sure to check the website for the most up to date information. St Kilda Ferry values environmental sustainability and practices ecotourism by prioritising the wellbeing of the penguins and other marine life. Dogs, fishing gear and white torches are not permitted on Penguin cruises.
