Fairy Penguins at Bicheno
Bicheno Penguin Tours takes you to see fairy penguins at dusk on Tasmania?s east coast. The nightly evening tours offer a rare and thrilling chance to visit a private rookery. You can watch the fairy penguins (also known as the little penguin) emerge from the ocean and head for their homes. Established by Bicheno locals to protect the penguin population, the tour lets you get close to the penguins without disturbing their nightly journey. Tours operate daily except Good Friday and Christmas Day. Tours depart at dusk and penguin numbers vary seasonally. Bookings are essential for penguin tours.

Forest Eco Centre
One of Tasmania's newest iconic attractions is the Forest Eco Centre, built to inspire visitors to explore and enjoy the diverse forests of the north east. The building itself is designed for maximum energy efficiency and its greenhouse-style interpretive section features many local species. Additional interactive displays focus on local forest history and the hardwood and softwood plantations so important to the economy of the north east. Entry to the centre is free.
