Bicheno Penguin Tours
How the Bicheno penguin tour works: meeting point, walk length, prices, seasons and rules.
Choosing Your Penguin Tour
Start with your base. Bicheno sits on the east coast and the tour there runs 70 minutes, while Low Head, reached from Launceston, takes 3 hours door to door. Both allow free cancellation.
