Our first stop is a surfer’s dream beach, Cape Woolamai. From here we will lace up the boots and start our hike that will guide you through rugged rock formations, known as the Pinnacles.
After our easy/moderate 6.8km hike we will head into Cowes for a delicious lunch before we Phillip Island Koala Reserve. Stroll through this eucalypt woodland and come ‘face-to-face’ with koalas in their natural habitat. The Koala Reserve’s unique tree top boardwalks and close viewing areas allow visitors to see how truly amazing koalas are.
Our next stop is The Nobbies for an easy stroll along the boardwalk to discover breathtaking coastline views and the impressive thundering blowhole. This area is home to Australia’s largest seal colony, little penguins, and silver gulls.
And to finish the day we will take a waddle on the wild side and see hundreds (sometimes thousands) of penguins emerge from the surf at sunset at the world-famous Penguin Parade. This experience is a wildlife lover’s dream!

5.00This was a wonderful day out away from the crowds and enjoying the island and wildlife. Michael is a low-key, super friendly guide who made the tour as good as it was. He was very organized and showed us where we were going, what to expect and then led us on our activities. He created a nice sense of group camaraderie and we left feeling like friends. I’ve learned from experience with other tour groups that feeling like we are a group makes all the difference. Great time and loved the Moonlit Sanctuary feeding wallabies.
