Description
Phillip Island Penguin Parade, Koala Conservation Park plus Wallabies in the wild, this day trip from Melbourne has it all.
Depart from Melbourne's Southern Cross Station and go straight to Phillip Island via the Bass Coast Highway with panoramic views of Western Port and French Island.
Continuing on to the renowned Phillip Island Koala Conservation Park we have over an hour to explore spotting Koala's in the natural habitat, prior to our arrival at Seal Rocks and the Nobbies Centre to take a walk along the boardwalk and soak in the stunning views back towards the Mornington Peninsula from Phillip Island’s most western point. With a scenic coastal drive along the Bass Coast. Wallabies & other native wildlife are spotted in their natural habitat prior to arrival at the Penguin Parade.
And then it’s onwards to the main event, the Phillip Island penguin tour. Just after dark every night, the world’s smallest penguins waddle ashore after spending the day fishing out at sea. You’ll be truly captivated as the stars of the show emerge from the surf and pass right before your eyes on their journey back to their burrows. Our experience at Phillip Island Nature Parks also offers upgrades to Penguin's Plus for the nightly Penguin Parade.
