Kangaroo Island Penguin Centre at Kingscote offers you so much more than just a chance to see the inhabitants of the local penguin colony where they live. 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 and caring for the ocean's complex wildlife.Staff and volunteers at the Penguin Centre have spent years working on the provision of newer, safer breeding habitat for the Little Penguins who have always made their home in the cliffs, rock walls and even tiny nooks and crannies close to commercial buildings in the Kingscote Wharf area. As loading facilities in the Wharf area have been decommissioned extensive work has been done to provide protected breeding habitat along with improved walkways and viewing areas for visitors.Hours of Operation is daily 17 hr. Best time to visit our colony is between April and November During these months, penguins are either mating, nest building, laying eggs or raising chicks.
