Discover more about Penguin Island
- Over the 2018 winter period, the original Hunstanton penguin colony went on a short winter holiday whilst their old enclosure underwent an incredible transformation. Now you will be able to get closer to these captivating birds as you explore the penguin trail and watch them enjoy their new deep-dive pool, waterfall and beach.
- In 2017 penguin couple Charlie & Jerome successfully reared the sanctuary's first-ever penguin chick called 'Fluffy'. The team hopes enlarging the colony will help encourage further breeding and improve the genetic biodiversity of the colony, which will in turn help boost the SEA LIFE Captive Breeding Program.
