Overview

Every night, thousands of little blue penguins come ashore on Phillip Island to rest up and spend time with their mate. The nightly penguin parade is a uniquely Australian spectacle, and a perfect opportunity to see some of the south coast's sea life. This tour makes getting to the penguin parade easy; instead of hiring a car and organizing accommodation on the island, same-day chauffeured transfers make it possible to see the best of Phillip Island in a single day.

Go beyond kangaroos and koalas: see a very different kind of Australian wildlife
Conveniently depart from Melbourne's Southbank or selected city centre hotels
Enjoy the chance to see birdlife that is unique to Phillip Island
Snap the perfect holiday photo at the Nobbies, a rocky outcrop that is home to penguins, seals and other Aussie sealife

The tour led by Kevin as he was quite engaging and knowledgeable. The highlight was seeing the penguins, especially from the boardwalk. We also really enjoyed seeing wallabies in their natural habitat.

Highly recommended- relaxed tour, great info provided. Seamless pick and drop. Spent a decent amount of time per stop.

A must do trip.

We had a good time. We were lost and couldn't find the pick up point and were grateful that Kevin waited a few minutes before leaving. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. Bring some binoculars to see the penguins!

Wei_C, Mar 2023

Kevin was our tour guide. Very informative and took the group to scenic spots that I had not expected. Left my phone in the van. He delivered it to me. He has gone beyond the call of duty. He is a valuable asset to your company. Was an honor to have him as our tour director/driver.

Great tour!

Nice activity, While the tears lots of special things to do in Australia, I won't take it as a "must do", but it is nice. I would prefer taking the car and do it individually instead of a long day..
