Granite Island is just off the coast of Victor Harbor on the southern coast of Australia. It is home to a colony of little penguins. There are tours run at dusk every night. Visitors can watch the penguins swim ashore and walk up to their burrows in the sand. We didn’t stay to watch this parade but I have seen similar ones at Phillip Island. The penguins are so cute, waddling up the beach.
You can walk on the bridge to the island or hop on the horse-drawn tram. They have a team of fourteen Clydesdales that take turns carrying passengers to and from the island. It is only a 630m walk but it’s a lot of fun going there or back on the tram.
Penguins have right of way on the island.
