Highlights

Getting up close with koalas in their natural habitat – that's an experience you'll only get at the Koala Conservation Reserve at Philip Island.
Stroll along the two treetop boardwalks and amidst the woodland as you keep a lookout for wallabies, echidnas, and colorful native birds.
The star attraction: the Phillip Island Penguin Parade! Just after dark, hundreds of the world's smallest penguins waddle ashore after a day of fishing at sea.
Upgrade your ticket to include a Penguins Plus or Underground Viewing Experience and enjoy the Penguin Parade from an exclusive observing area.
Fun fact: Koalas nap for up to 20 hours daily, conserving energy due to their low-nutrition eucalyptus diet. Watch them snooze when you visit!

The 3 park option allowed us to get a great day on the Island with our overseas visitor. Churchill Island , koala sanctuary and of course the penguins. We also went to the knobbies the GP race track and Cowes. All excellent.

The busiest time of the year on the island was so much easier to navigate with pre booked multi tickets and supporting conservation projects is a clear winner

Loved how close we got to see the penguins. The staff were awesome and helpful. Wish people would listen to the staff and not take photos.

It was easy to purchase tickets. On the other hand, it just showed one last date in December and the next one available only on January 7th, 2025. That's how we understood this would be the last chance in 2024.
