Guided tour can enable you to spot species of birds which a normal eye could miss. It is suggested to head to Hobbs Beach, just a short walk from the ferry dock, to take a swim and spy on blue penguins in their nesting boxes.

If you want to see parent birds feeding their fledged chicks, late summer is the best time. If you want to stay overnight and hear the best of the dawn chorus, spring is the best time to come.
