From the comfort of the boats, you can get a glimpse of penguin habitats in a hidden location between Nobbies and Penguin Parade. From there the high-speed tour will pass the local fur seal colony, which stands at about 16,000 strong.

You’ll even get a unique perspective of the seals playing in the water from the boat’s underwater cameras, and without having to take a dip in the drink.

Take a trip in January and you’ll get the added bonus of seeing the fur seal pups taking their first swims! Check out penguins.org.au for more information on their tours.
