Description

This tour offers an up-close experience with Australian native animals, breathtaking coastal scenery, and the world-famous Penguin Parade. Witness adorable koalas, stunning ocean views, and the magical sight of little penguins returning to shore at sunset. First, visit the Koala Conservation Reserve, where elevated boardwalks wind through tranquil eucalyptus forest and rangers’ signage helps you spot koalas resting or feeding while learning about conservation. Next, continue to the seaside town of Cowes for relaxed free time—walk the sandy beach, grab a coffee or lunch at your own expense, and browse boutiques with ocean views. The tour continues to the Nobbies Centre, where stunning coastal views await. Stroll along the scenic boardwalks overlooking rugged cliffs and the deep blue ocean. Look out for Australian fur seals at Seal Rocks, visible with the help of binoculars or from the center's observation points. The highlight of the day is the world-famous Penguin Parade at sunset. As dusk falls, settle into your seat and prepare for one of nature's most enchanting spectacles. Watch in awe as hundreds of little penguins – the smallest penguins in the world. This heartwarming experience is unique to Phillip Island and promises to be a memory you'll cherish forever.
