Phillip Island Penguins & Wildlife Day Tour from Melbourne
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
Here’s the very best of Victoria’s wildlife experiences. The Penguin Parade is an absolute ‘must’ on every visitor’s itinerary, but this tour gives you so much more.
First stop is Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park, where you can get up close to wallabies on the wallaby walk (you may see little joeys peeking out of their mothers’ pouches). Enjoy a ranger providing unique insights and information during the daily koala presentation.
Then we travel on to the spectacular Cape Woolamai Surf Beach. Located on the southern coast of Phillip Island, this beach is exposed to the ocean swells and the surf here is truly impressive. It's also not uncommon to see dolphins or seals swimming in the waters just off the beach.
We also visit the Nobbies and Australia’s largest Fur Seal colony at Seal Rocks. Finally, the ultimate attraction: hundreds of Little Penguins emerging from the ocean and waddling across the beach to their sand dune burrows.

5.00Our tour was amazing. Our guide Lisa took us to a wide array of absolutely gorgeous places where we got to bathe our eyes in the wide open skies and the sea and the green hills. She shared fascinating stories, and of course the animals were adorable!!! We debated wether to do this tour because we're doing other wildlife activities as well but we loved feeding the kangaroos and wallabies in moonlit sanctuary and the penguin parade was a once in a lofe time experience where we get to witness nature's cycles and beauty from a front row seat. Lisa was kind and welcoming and warm and we loved having her as a guide!
Penguins were the grand finale

4.00A fabulous full day. I’m so glad I did it. Chris H was a great speaker, great educator and a lot of fun. This company did not tell me in advance that no photography is allowed. That was in a message the day before the tour. That was the only negative, but it was a big one for me.

1.00This review is for pre-tour experience only, as we did not go on the tour. The operator’s emails were confusing at best, as they changed the pickup location and pickup time. Their emails would say “do not refer to any other changes only this email.” But then they’d email with changes and an incomplete email. We still planned to go on the tour until we waited an additional 10 minutes past the adjusted pickup time. When they were not there and hadn’t contacted us, we moved on. Making matters worse, they will not approve a refund despite their operational issues. Avoid this tour operator.
