Melbourne City Penguins Day/Night Cruises

Description:

• If you want to see Victoria's famous little (fairy) penguins and do not have the time to go down to Phillip Island, this cruise will also let you get fairly up close and personal with the cute little birds. A rock structure built in Port Phillip Bay for the Melbourne Olympics in 1956 is now occupied by a colony of little penguins. This cruise takes you out to the rock where you are guaranteed viewing of the penguins parading ashore. Flash photography is also permitted, unlike at Phillip Island. On the way out to the bay the cruise takes you past the city, Port of Melbourne, Westgate Bridge and Williamstown. You can also pick up the cruise at St. Kilda Pier Eco-Centre. Sunset cruise is for two hours and the day cruise for one and a half hours.
