Sunset Penguin Cruise

St Kilda Ferry Penguin Sunset Cruise

Discover one of Port Phillip Bay’s most magical wildlife experiences aboard the Sunset Penguin Cruise with St Kilda Ferry. This unforgettable adventure takes you out onto the water at the golden hour to witness the resident Little Penguins of the St Kilda Breakwater as they return home after a day of fishing.

Departing approximately 10–15 minutes before sunset, the one-hour cruise offers spectacular views of Port Phillip Bay and the Melbourne skyline, a friendly and knowledgeable crew commentary, and the chance to see penguins up close as they swim and climb onto the breakwater rocks to nest for the night.

The cruise departs from St Kilda Pier, but you can also board from Williamstown’s Gem Pier, making it a scenic bay journey from Hobsons Bay across to St Kilda.  To book from Williamstown contact St Kilda Ferry directly. 

What to expect:

  • A stunning sunset over Port Phillip Bay.

  • Insightful commentary on local wildlife and marine life.

  • Guaranteed opportunity to see Little Penguins in their natural environment.

  • A relaxed, family-friendly experience on the water.

Whether you’re heading out from Williamstown or St Kilda, this cruise is a memorable way to connect with nature and enjoy a beautiful evening on the water in Hobsons Bay.
