In just one extraordinary day, experience two of Victoria’s top wildlife attractions: the Nobbies and Seal Rocks, with one of Australia's largest colony of fur seals; and the nightly Penguin Parade, where little penguins pop out of the water and waddle across the beach to their burrows.

At the Nobbies and Seal Rocks, the clifftop boardwalk opens up breathtaking views of Phillip Island’s wild south coast, and there are further lookout points among natural sea bird gardens which have spectacular flowering displays in spring.

Then witness Victoria’s largest colony of little penguins in the nightly Penguin Parade. As dusk falls, hundreds of little penguins splash out of the water onto the beach, making their way to their burrows. They feed at sea and return to their burrows to mate, care for their young and to moult.

    The bus ride itself was a unique experience with Alisha driving us all the way and telling us about the different places on the way. And the penguin parade at the end was just spectacular

  • Loved it!

    Phillip island is a beautiful spot, developed keeping wildlife in mind, while allowing people to get close to see them. Our guide Frank was very entertaining and knowledgeable!
