What is it? Tasmania is home to several colonies of little penguins which, at just 40cm tall, are the smallest penguin species in the world. You can spot them on a Low Head small-group, sunset tour, which includes bookable bus transfers from Launceston.
Why go? Because it's absolutely adorable. This is a rewarding, but responsible way to enjoy seeing the fairy-sized black and white birds in one of Launceston's most charming seaside towns. The tour’s environmentally friendly approach ensures that the 4,000 or so penguins in the area are not disturbed as they waddle out of the water and into their burrows for the night.
