The Penneshaw Penguin Centre is an iconic tourism business, positioned overlooking the stunning Hog Bay Beach on Kangaroo Island in very close proximity to all major accommodation providers in Penneshaw. It is the only penguin tour operator in South Australia and one of the first stops for cruise ship passengers when disembarking the island.
Recently named as the 2nd must-visit destination for 2024 by Lonely Planet, the island's tourism sector has continued to grow and garner world wide interest and recognition.
The time has now come, to pass the business ownership baton to another equally passionate individual, who recognises the importance of protecting the local Little Penguin colony and has a natural love of wildlife. The local penguin tours are a great way of educating and creating awareness of the life and habitat of these wonderful creatures and the tours contribute greatly to the fabric of the local economy.
The business itself is very easily run and highly profitable with minimal overheads and time commitment involved. Nightly nocturnal tours mean your days are free to pursue other interests or enjoy the island at your leisure. Flexibility in hours is allowed for via a small team of casual staff. Perhaps you'd consider expanding the business for seasonal daytime opportunities.
Tours are approximately 60 minutes duration and consist of information briefings at the centre itself before venturing out on a short walk of the coastline to view the penguins in their natural habitat. A range of retail items are also available for attendees to purchase.
Prior experience is not necessary, however a willingness to learn and a love of wildlife will see you on your way. This is a very easily run little business affording a wonderful and unique island lifestyle.
