What to expect

Your guide picks you up for a 10–11 hour private tour. You'll start at the wildlife park, where animals approach close enough to feed from your hand—wallabies, echidnas and reptiles are common sightings, plus various birds. Next, Churchill Island opens up its working farm: watch herding dogs round up sheep or see shearing in action, or wander the heritage gardens and historic buildings at your own pace. Late afternoon you head to the penguin parade. Penguins Plus seating puts you metres from the shore where thousands emerge from the ocean and shuffle inland. The experience unfolds naturally—no rushing—and your guide adjusts stops to match what interests you most.
