See the Penguins
Let's go penguin spotting!
Come nightfall, Stanley transforms into a penguin wonderland, offering an experience that really will make your holiday unforgettable.
The best time to see the Little Penguins is in the evening after dusk, when the little birds return to their burrows after a day at sea.
Head to the designated penguin watching platform at the end of Godfreys Beach. There, the specially equipped platform with soft red lights ensures you get an amazing view without disturbing the little feathery fellas.
Some penguins also come to shore in front of the park on Tatlows
Beach. Watch the shores closely, stay hushed and feel the magic as they return
from their watery expeditions. But please take care not to get too close to the
penguins, and do not shine torches directly at them.
And don’t forget the other wildlife!
While the penguins sure do steal the spotlight, don't forget keep an eye out for our other native friends! Stanley's natural nightlife includes charming visits from Tasmanian pademelons and rabbits, while The Nut is a haven for migratory birds such as shear-waters (mutton birds) and orange bellied parrots, as well as kestrels and falcons. Being so close to the coast, you’ll also be able to keep an eye out for the seals, whales and dolphins that can often be seen in the waters in the area.
Our BIG4 Holiday Park is the perfect spot to experience Stanley's vibrant natural night life. Book a powered site or a Waterview Cabin to be close to the action for an evening you won't forget!
