Penguin Viewing

Nature & Parks

Stanley is home to the Little Penguin, and there are opportunities to watch these adorable creatures return to their nests at dusk. Visit the formal Penguin viewing area on Godfrey’s Beach each night, or walk along the path on Tatlow’s Beach in front of the Holiday Park. You’re sure to see these little creatures.
Penguin Night Watch in Stanley! 
This is a nocturnal event! Come nightfall, Stanley transforms into a Penguin wonderland, offering an unforgettable adventure for wildlife enthusiasts. Head to the designated penguin watching platform at the end of Godfreys Beach. The specially equipped platform with soft red lights ensures you get an unparalleled view without disturbing our feathery friends.

Penguins also come to shore in front of the Park on Tatlows Beach. Watch the shores closely, stay hushed and feel the magic as Fairy Penguins return from their watery expeditions. Please take care and stay well away from the Penguins, and don’t shine torches at them. Did you know? Little Penguins are the smallest penguins in the WORLD, and they choose Stanley just to meet us!

And while the penguins sure do steal the spotlight, don't forget to look around! Stanley's nightlife includes charming visits from Tasmanian pademelons and rabbits.

Join us and witness Stanley's vibrant life after dark. Book a powered site or a Waterview Cabin to be close to the action for an evening you won't forget!
