The experience was made great by the tour guide. Your company sent confusing instructions with different meet times and the bus does not stop on Flinders St. I will book directly with the tour company next time.

Loved to see the penguins so close. Amazed to see other fauna like the geese and wallabies. Our tour guide "Bluey" was very entertaining and informative.

Your experience

Full-day adventure

Ready to ditch the city and swap skyscrapers for stunning coastlines? Buckle up for a full-day or half-day Phillip Island adventure packed with adorable encounters and breathtaking scenery. Your comfy air-conditioned coach whisks you away from Melbourne towards Phillip Island. First stop? The Koala Conservation Reserve. Here, alongside an experienced park ranger, stroll along treetop boardwalks for an up-close peek at koalas – nature's ultimate chill champions!

Next, you'll head to The Nobbies, a dramatic rock formation teeming with wildlife. Witness one of Australia's largest fur seal colonies basking on the rocks, their barks echoing across the vast ocean.

Meet the tiniest penguins on earth

But the star attraction awaits! As the sun dips below the horizon, casting fiery hues across the sky, prepare for the Penguin Parade. Hundreds of little penguin superstars, the world's smallest penguin breed, waddle their way back to their burrows after a day at sea. Learn fascinating facts about these incredible creatures and the important conservation efforts underway to protect them.

Want to make your adventure even more epic? Upgrade your ticket for a premium viewing experience of the Penguin Parade. Get closer to the action (without disturbing the penguins, of course!) and enjoy unbeatable views.
